The allegation comes on the back of the lawsuit that The New York Times had filed alleging that the OpenAI’s Chatbot system was producing articles that were similar to the media organization.
OpenAI Alleges NYT of Hacking
The New York Times “hacked” ChatGPT and other AI systems to provide false evidence for the case, according to OpenAI. The company also has requested a federal judge to rule out some of the newspaper’s copyright complaints against it. The Times prompted the technology to replicate its content, according to a Monday filing made by OpenAI in Manhattan federal court, by using “deceptive prompts that blatantly violate OpenAI’s terms of use.”
According to Reuters, “the allegations in the Times’s complaint do not meet its famously rigorous journalistic standards,” claimed OpenAI.
The New York Times Sues OpenAI for Copyright
The New York Times has previously filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI. In the lawsuit, NYT claims that the businesses behind ChatGPT and other well-known AI platforms have unfairly used its written works. The case, which was submitted to the Federal District Court in Manhattan, claims that automated chatbots that were trained on millions of articles published by The Times are now in competition with the news organization as a trustworthy source of information.

AI’s Legitimacy Stands on Edge
The OpenAI and New York Times case has shed light on an important topic so far. Is artificial intelligence a reliable source of information? Making sure the news comes from reliable sources is the main duty of a news organization. However, if AI bots and tools are now trying to be in line with news organizations, are they picking up information from credible sources?
The case also put the question of using data versus copying it. The Times is one of many copyright holders, including associations of writers, visual artists, and music publishers, that have filed lawsuits against tech corporations for allegedly misusing their creations for AI training. Tech giants, however, claim that the lawsuits endanger the expansion of the potentially multitrillion-dollar sector and that their AI algorithms fairly utilize copyrighted information.
