The New York Times has rejected OpenAI’s claims of “hacking” in a copyright dispute, labeling them as irrelevant and untrue. The newspaper asserts that OpenAI’s accusations are merely a form of attention-seeking, and it has submitted a legal response opposing OpenAI’s attempt to dismiss parts of the lawsuit. OpenAI, supported by Microsoft, is accused by the Times of utilizing millions of its articles without authorization to train AI chatbots.
Alongside other copyright holders, the Times has initiated legal proceedings against tech companies for purportedly misusing their content in AI training. OpenAI responded by implying that the Times tampered with its products to replicate its content, aiming to have the copyright infringement claims dismissed.
