The New York Times sues OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement
(edition.cnn.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Except no one is claiming that LLMs are the problem, they're claiming GPT, or more specifically GPTs training data, is the problem. Transformer models still have a lot of potential, but the question the NYT is asking is "can you just takes anyone else's work to train them".
There's a similar suit against Meta for Llama.
And yes, we will end up seeing as the dust settles if training a LLM is fair use in case law.
