In its lawsuit, for example, the Times said OpenAI’s GPT-4 falsely attributed product recommendations to Wirecutter, the paper’s product reviews site, endangering its reputation. The lawsuit filed Wednesday cited examples of OpenAI’s GPT-4 spitting out large portions of news articles from the Times, including a Pulitzer-Prize winning investigation into New York City’s taxi industry that took 18 months to complete. “But using journalism without permission or payment is unlawful, and certainly not fair use.” In July, OpenAI and The Associated Press announced a deal for the artificial intelligence company to license AP’s archive of news stories.
