From SiliconANGLE:

OpenAI is seeking to dismiss most of the copyright lawsuit filed by the New York Times, claiming the Times paid someone to hack ChatGPT and create misleading evidence. OpenAI asserts that the Times violated its terms of use and the results from ChatGPT were anomalous and required thousands of attempts.

The Times refutes OpenAI’s claims, stating they used ChatGPT to find evidence of copyright infringement. OpenAI previously argued in a blog post that any Times content used was fair use and did not significantly impact their models. OpenAI is working to fix a bug that allows access to paywalled content.

The motion filed by OpenAI is the latest development in the case, with the Times claiming OpenAI’s copying is much larger than the 100 examples cited. OpenAI maintains that ChatGPT is not a substitute for a Times subscription and the results were anomalous due to exploitation of a bug. The Times argues that OpenAI’s products were used to steal copyrighted material.
