OpenAI, a company that makes smart computer programs, has replied to The New York Times saying their AI, ChatGPT, copies articles. OpenAI disagrees with these claims and wants to explain how they work.
Here are the main points they said:
1. Working with News Groups:
OpenAI tries to help news groups. They team up with newspapers and groups to help journalists with things like reading lots of documents or translating languages. They’ve worked with Associated Press and Axel Springer before.
2. Learning and Fairness:
OpenAI says it’s fair to teach their AI by using things from the internet. But they give a way for newspapers, including The New York Times, to stop their AI from reading their websites.
3. Fixing Mistakes:
Sometimes, their AI might repeat things by mistake. OpenAI is trying hard to stop this from happening. They’re making sure their AI doesn’t remember things it shouldn’t.
4. The New York Times’ Mistakes:
OpenAI is upset because The New York Times didn’t show examples when they said their AI copied things. They think The Times picked old articles that are everywhere online to make their AI repeat things on purpose.
OpenAI doesn’t agree with The New York Times’ claims. They want to work together with them and think AI can help journalists a lot.
This all comes while they’re in a legal fight. OpenAI wants to keep helping news groups and making AI better for everyone.
