Summary
Sam Altman, the leader of OpenAI, expressed surprise at the New York Times' lawsuit against his company. He stated that OpenAI had been in negotiations with the Times to pay them for displaying their content in OpenAI's AI chatbot. Altman said that training on the Times' data was not a priority for OpenAI and that they didn't need to train on their data. The Times sued both Microsoft and OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement. OpenAI disputes the allegations and claims that instances of "regurgitation" are rare bugs that they are working to eliminate. The lawsuit has raised concerns about other media publishers potentially taking similar legal action against OpenAI. OpenAI has responded to the lawsuit by stating that they collaborate with news organizations and provide opt-out options. Altman believes there will be new ways to monetize news content in the future and that OpenAI can tweak their models to avoid regurgitating others' content.
