Last month, The New York Times initiated a legal lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing it of using the newspaper's copyrighted reports and articles without permission.
The lawsuit claimed that the outputs were strikingly similar to the original articles, and in some cases, the model's hallucinations borrowed the New York Times' name to send incorrect information, damaging the newspaper's reputation.

However, a few days ago, OpenAI responded to these allegations on its official blog. The post argued that training AI language models with copyrighted content is indispensable. The so-called similarity in content was attributed to the rare occurrence of "regurgitation," a problem that OpenAI is currently addressing.
The post also questioned the examples provided by The New York Times as potentially being deliberately manipulated to induce the model to produce similar content. Additionally, OpenAI stated that it has mechanisms in place to remove training data. The removal of The New York Times' data, they claim, would not significantly impact the model's performance.
