Based on the injunction from the Italian privacy guard (the second one, not the ban) they did indeed back off on the scraping part, because it is not mentioned among the tasks that OpenAI has to do before April 30, for the ban to be lifted. That said, this article is only devoting a sentence to way more important requests, which are the implementation of right to be forgotten and especially the problem with inventing false personal data. Which is a huge issue and what distinguishes artificial intelligence from autocomplete.

By the way, blocking ChatGPT from Italy is not enough to avoid the GDPR violation. OpenAI is handling(*) personal data of Italian citizens, and therefore they must allow them to exercise their rights, even if OpenAI is not providing service in Italy. Blocking ChatGPT was just a fig leaf to show they were doing something. (*) Because people say the personal data is not part of the model, "handling" is defined as performing any in a list of actions which includes disseminating, and "personal data" is defined as "data that allows identification of a person". So if "ChatGPT is disseminating data that allows identification of a person", then "OpenAI is handling personal data"; the former is simply a subset of the latter.
