No More Bad News for OpenAI

A few days ago, The New York Times blocked OpenAI’s web crawler. As viewed on NYT’s robots.txt page, the publishing giant has barred GPTBot from crawling the website, and many more are likely to follow. Plus, there are also rumours that NYT is going to sue OpenAI over copyright violations in a bid to protect its intellectual property.

If NYT successfully proves that its content was illegally used, OpenAI might have to delete its entire dataset used for training AI models and cough up a fine of up to $150,000 for each infringed content, or worse, pull the plug on ChatGPT.
