OpenAI to NYT: You Tricked Us

OpenAI published a juicy blog post yesterday regarding the NYT lawsuit, calling it “without merit.” Let’s break it down.

What is the argument, and what does it mean for the future of AI-generated content, not only for media and journalism but for all human creativity? Because that’s ultimately what’s at stake here.

  • OpenAI says training AI models using publicly available internet materials is fair use

  • They have an opt-out clause, which the NYT has been using since Aug 2023

  • They claim NYT makes up a tiny slice of training data, and is ultimately not significant for the model’s intended learning

  • OpenAI claims the NYT intentionally manipulated prompts to give them the desired outcome.

Our take: OpenAI is right. There is no legal basis for a lawsuit. But that’s more because our legal system is completely unprepared for the onslaught of AI developments that will fundamentally change our society. And less because they are justified in using other people’s work.

In the future, we will remember this time as the “Wild West” of Artificial Intelligence when you could get away with anything. A few lucky bastards will make a fortune. Regulators will level out the playing field and eventually overcompensate and become power-hungry. Then innovators will push back and leave us somewhere in the middle. Like literally any other new technology in a free society.
