"A Manhattan judge has ordered OpenAI to provide the Daily News and other news outlets with millions of anonymous chats between ChatGPT and its users in a major ongoing copyright infringement case. In a nine-page order made public Wednesday, Manhattan Magistrate Judge Ona Wang denied OpenAI's request to reconsider her November ruling requiring the tech giant to hand over 20 million ChatGPT output logs to the media outlets."
"A spokesperson for OpenAI pointed to a blog post by company executive Dane Stuckey after Wang's original order on the matter. We will continue to explore every option available to protect our users' privacy, the statement read in part. But in the decision, Wang reaffirmed that users' privacy was not in jeopardy, noting that OpenAI had almost completed an internal process to anonymize the chats."
"OpenAI's leadership was hallucinating when they thought they could get away with withholding evidence about how their business model relies on stealing from hardworking journalists, and we look forward to holding them accountable for their ongoing misappropriation of our work. They should pay for the copyright-protected work they use to build and maintain their apps and products, and they know it."
Manhattan Magistrate Judge Ona Wang denied OpenAI's request to reconsider a prior ruling and ordered the company to provide 20 million ChatGPT output logs to news outlets, with millions of chats to be shared in anonymized form. News organizations seek a sample of consumer logs to test whether the language model reproduces or propagates journalists' copyrighted work. The matter is part of a consolidated 2023 class-action lawsuit involving The New York Times, Tribune Publishing, MediaNews Group, the Authors Guild and numerous writers alleging unauthorized use of copyrighted material. OpenAI said it will pursue options to protect user privacy while completing anonymization.
