New York Times sues Microsoft and OpenAI
According to the lawsuit, Microsoft and OpenAI used articles from The New York Times without permission to train and test their ChatGPT models, which can generate realistic and engaging text conversations.

Microsoft and OpenAI have not yet responded to the lawsuit, but they have previously stated that their ChatGPT models are intended for research and educational purposes only, and that they do not endorse or condone any harmful or illegal uses of their technology.
