OpenAI said The New York Times lawsuit targeting it is without merit. Reached by PYMNTS, a spokesperson for The New York Times provided a statement from Ian Crosby, partner with Susman Godfrey and lead counsel for The New York Times. In its Monday blog post, OpenAI said no single source, including The New York Times, makes a meaningful contribution to the training of its models. The company also said in the post that any “regurgitation” of publishers’ content is treated as a priority by OpenAI. “Despite their claims, this misuse is not typical or allowed user activity, and is not a substitute for The New York Times,” OpenAI said in the post.
