NYT has to win this and I don’t get the argument in OpenAIs favor. Most of the ones I’ve heard rely on anthropomorphism of LLMs. There is plenty of public domain knowledge to train on and for that that isn’t why shouldn’t there be a payment made? We would still have the assistants coming the only difference is the cost would reflect the underlying work of the initial creators and thus VCs wouldn’t be able to destroy a ton of industries the way they’ve done for the past decade already.
This will also allow more competition as companies don’t have to accept that OpenAI downloaded the internet before it was locked down and thus will always have the most quality data. Instead all of these companies may start opening up their own apis for training on allowing anyone with compute to train on a similar dataset as OpenAI.
