“Established copyright doctrine will dictate that the Times cannot prevent AI models from acquiring knowledge about facts, any more than another news organization can prevent the Times itself from re-reporting stories it had no role in investigating,” OpenAI writes.

Oh boy, their defense is that their advanced predictive text can acquire knowledge? Please, proceed.

It would be a plausible defense if the AI model wasn’t regurgitating Times articles verbatim.

It still is defensible. I can quote a whole bunch of lines from “talladega nights” and “old school” verbatim. I can sing the entirety of “Amish paradise”, with close to 100% accuracy.

My recall ability does not mean that I’ve violated copyright.

If you write it down and sell it you 100% do violate copyright
