Report: Potential NYT lawsuit could force OpenAI to wipe ChatGPT and start over

Good

AI should not be given free reign to train on anything and everything we’ve ever created. Copyright holders should be able to decide if their works are allowed to be used for model training, especially commercial model training. We’re not going to stop a hobbyist, but google/Microsoft/openAI should be paying for materials they’re using and compensating the creators.

When OpenAI commits copyright infringement no one bats an eye, but when I do it everyone downvotes me

I'll take things that won't happen for $200

Could this headline possibly have any more weasel word qualifiers? Lots of things “could” happen.

Too many people have copies of the full database at this point for such a thing to mean much. And there's too many other versions that have been produced since to matter either.

Oh God, I better not learn anything from a book or I'm fucked.

can't they just move to a country where copyright doesn't exist?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The result, experts speculate, could be devastating to OpenAI, including the destruction of ChatGPT's dataset and fines up to $150,000 per infringing piece of content.

If the Times were to follow through and sue ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, NPR suggested that the lawsuit could become "the most high-profile" legal battle yet over copyright protection since ChatGPT's explosively popular launch.

This speculation comes a month after Sarah Silverman joined other popular authors suing OpenAI over similar concerns, seeking to protect the copyright of their books.

As of this month, the Times' TOS prohibits any use of its content for "the development of any software program, including, but not limited to, training a machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI) system."

In the memo, the Times' chief product officer, Alex Hardiman, and deputy managing editor Sam Dolnick said a top "fear" for the company was "protecting our rights" against generative AI tools.

the memo asked, echoing a question being raised in newsrooms that are beginning to weigh the benefits and risks of generative AI.

I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Kill the earth, and start over.

Isn't that... weird? Like someone would have reinvented the wheel (literally), to end up being much better than the "original" wheel... and pissing off mechanics worldwide because that'd make em lose their jobs because of some random, nonsensical reason. Idk, its like folks forgot that the AI can be EASILY manipulated. But nooooooooo "whining is easier, lads! Let's whine instead of making things better!".... heh. Humanity is so fucked.

Surprising that there are so many copyright bootlickers on lemmy

Start over with what? The internet is now polluted with AI gibberish.

If ChatGPT is removed, it will really have a big impact on users getting used to its convenience, when there are currently too many ChatGPT Online causing it to explode.

i guess that bot's sweatin' tonight.. maybe the stress is what's causing the errors..

If ChatGPT gets erased and rescanned with new stuff, I can see different "flavors" popping up to replace it. For example: Conservative GPT, no content related to trans, evolution, or climate change. Vetted Wikipedia entries only.

LAME. Butthurt people is all i see. People like that are what cause huge roadblocks in advancing humans. I wish someone made a law that made it impossible to force someone to stop doing something simply because they are using ai to train and it hurts their pockets. Let AI learn what we've created. The possibilities are endless. So many good things can come from it but all everyone wants to do is look at the negatives. Of which a massive majority are easily solvable.

One tiny example is think of what ai can do in a few years time with training on medicine alone. For all we know the ai can figure out cancer for us. But with everyone clamping down on this shit we'll never know.

Leave it to humans to ruin great things. If aliens ever visit this planet I'm ratting out every last human against technology 🤣
