New York Times considers legal action against OpenAI
Attorneys representing the newspaper are investigating the possibility of suing OpenAI to safeguard the intellectual property rights connected to its journalism.
If the lawsuit were to succeed, OpenAI might be required to discard the training data of #ChatGPT related to NYT and start anew, in addition to paying up to "150,000 dollars per infringing content.".
A top concern for the Times is that ChatGPT is, in a sense, becoming a direct competitor with the paper by creating text that answers questions based on the original reporting and writing of the paper's staff.
“If, when someone searches online, they are served a paragraph-long answer from an AI tool that refashions reporting from the Times, the need to visit the publisher’s website is greatly diminished,” said one person involved in the talks.
The Associated Press published standards for generative AI use. “We do not see AI as a replacement for journalists in any way.” The document mentions that AP has a licensing agreement with OpenAI and says that ChatGPT can be used with caution for helping with writing news, but should not be used to create content itself. “Any output from a generative AI tool should be treated as an unvetted source of material.”.
Major websites like The New York Times, IKEA, Amazon, CNN or Stack Overflow are starting to block, GPTBot, the bot that crawls the web in order to train Chat GPT's language model. Better be on the safe side and see how things evolve, right?.

The power of AI in Google Docs with NoteBookLM
Google has launched (experimentally) its first "AI-first notebook," an environment focused on Artificial Intelligence called "NotebookLM" (previously named "Project Tailwind"), although the old icon is still in use. LM stands for "Language Model," meant to highlight the fact that it is "grounded in its own documents." Initially, this only applies to Google Docs, but additional formats will be available soon.
💡 AI tip
Let the AI moderate the interactions of your site
OpenAI has released in ChatGPT 4 (paid version) tools to help with content moderation. Do you realize the amount of time you can save by using this tool instead of checking manually or paying moderators?.
Early results are prominent. In a short time we could be able to reduce human resources related to this task.
We use GPT-4 for content policy development and content moderation decisions, enabling more consistent labeling, a faster feedback loop for policy refinement, and less involvement from human moderators.
“… results and output will need to be carefully monitored, validated, and refined by maintaining humans in the loop.”.
Do not let the AI write your articles without supervision, Microsoft published an AI written article that gave tourism advice for visiting Ottawa that listed the Food Bank as a tourist attraction.
