"Transformative" seems to fit a lot more that "Derivative". On the other hand, it's understandable why NYT is worried. OpenAI itself says that occupations like: Writers and Authors, Web and Digital Interface Designers, News Analysts, Reporters, and Journalists, Proofreaders and Copy Markers are "90-100% exposed" to what OpenAI is building.

We should all be worried about that. If journalism is replaced with AI, truth is replaced with the AI hallucination du jour.

    Yup. News has been rampant with speculation, hearsay, and propaganda all my life。 Content mills and astroturfers already bury the truth or relevant stories with noise.

  Most of the modern news are hallucinations and post-truths.

I don't buy into all these "dangers". The advent of cars did not decrease the amount of drivers and introduced various new jobs, that were not available for a lot of people. And the rise of computers, did not make the workforce smaller but instead opened many more opportunities for a lot of people.

  I think focusing on lost jobs is the wrong angle to take this in. It's in how the content being used is being compensated. OpenAi isn't paying writers to train their engine. I don't care that the car replaced the horse carriage because it didn't need to compensate horses nor handlers to do so. AI being the newest iteration of scraping data from artists, writers, etc. to profit millions off of is directly using the "horse handler's" work. If these LLM's threw NYT a royalty to use their articles as training material, there wouldn't be a lawsuit.
