Both OpenAI and NYT are bad. I don't know about NYT's privacy policy, because that's not really the industry they're in, but they did admit to fabricating a story that led to a now 2-year-long war, so.

Yes, but I think at least in this instance, OpenAI needs people to think that what they ask ChatGPT is private. They will have no business model if everyone thought that whatever private question they ask could fall into the hands of a media company and be used for anything. Also, at least when I signed up, you had to provide either a highly trusted email address or phone number to sign up, so your identity is definitely attached to whatever question you ask ChatGPT. They know how high the stakes are for them in this suit.

> Both OpenAI and NYT are bad. Both -1 and -1,000,000 are negative numbers. We need to be careful and mindful of our framing. Saying "X is bad" is a drastic oversimplification and not necessarily useful. Pointing at any one company and saying "bad" doesn't move the needle much in terms of figuring out how to steer us towards better outcomes. For that, we have to identify incentives and understand motivations.
