OpenAI has accused The New York Times of paying someone to hack its products, including ChatGPT, as part of a stratagem to establish a lawsuit against the AI maker. The company alleges that The New York Times made numerous attempts to generate anomalies by exploiting a bug in OpenAI’s models to support claims of copyright infringement. Despite the allegations, OpenAI argues that ChatGPT doesn’t serve as a substitute for NYT content. Meanwhile, The New York Times asserts it has found evidence of copyright infringement through OpenAI’s products. The legal battle hinges on complex issues like fair use and copyright laws.
