So essentially you can ask chatgpt to fetch and summarize a paywalled article, because openai has subscribed their crawler?

- nicklecompte 3y agoI believe it really only works with GPT-4 directly, because OpenAI's prompting to make ChatGPT a chatbot ruins the effect. Specifically the NYT put in the first sentence of the article and asked GPT-4 to autocomplete it, which it did with >95% accuracy. It's really quite stark: https://nitter.net/jason_kint/status/1740146134767865895#m https://nitter.net/jason_kint/status/1740146134767865895#m The issue isn't that GPT-4 users can read NYT stories without paying for a subscription, though that is a legitimate concern. The issue is that for good-faith use cases - e.g. asking to write a summary about a recent current event - GPT-4 could very well copy an entire paragraph from NYT verbatim, without the user having any way of knowing. It's a serious problem.

- graeme 3y agoWhich lawsuits? Newspapers are free to remove themselves from google at any time. You might be thinking of newspapers’ political campaigns such as C-18 in Canada, which were done in bad faith. The newspapers wanted links to stay but wanted money too. OpenAI can’t do this for NYT without destroying their model and remaking it.
