TLDR:
"The suit seeks nothing less than the erasure of both any GPT instances that the parties have trained using material from the Times, as well as the destruction of the datasets that were used for the training. It also asks for a permanent injunction to prevent similar conduct in the future. The Times also wants money, lots and lots of money: "statutory damages, compensatory damages, restitution, disgorgement, and any other relief that may be permitted by law or equity.""

If we see court judgements start to go copyright owners way, we will also see a scramble from AI companies to buy the few publishers with enough data to be worth buying, and to create works for hire to replace the rest. In the long run a copyright ruling like that will be a boon for OpenAI and all other players with deep enough pockets to do so, and massively harm everyone else who will suddenly find it far harder to build models legally.

- weikju 3y agoThey're already working on it with Apple (see my other reply in this discussion), so I wouldn't doubt that this is another salvo in the same battle.
- chongli 3y agoThis is what lawyers are paid for. They ask for the max because there’s no harm in doing so. Everyone knows there’s little meaning to that.
- greggsy 3y agoThey always go for the max, knowing that they will settle somewhere closer to the expected rate.
