AI written articles don't always have a byline that says "I'm a bot, Beep Boop."
Open AI isn't posting news articles.
Is adobe to blame because someone photoshopped trump without hair?
Check the article itself, don't let the clickbait title fool you.
The issue is mostly about these companies circumventing paywalls and stealing the content without permission. Furthermore, it's not about getting News from AI, but these news sources being cited for "facts" that are just false.
Article said they they actually have a service that reproduces news articles without paywalls. People are deliberately choosing to get their news filtered through ChatGPT when everyone should know by now that these things are not to be trusted with any important information.
That's also happening, yes. But ChatGPT is also reproducing large chunks of training data verbatim.
This isn't just about using ChatGPT to summarize articles or bypass paywalls. But also about copyright infringement (and no, reproducing large chunks of training data verbatim is not fair use).
What's the difference between sensationalizing news and fake news? Its the reason I don't use any "news source" for news. The minute I read "it hurts our revenue" is the minute I realized this lawsuit isn't about information, it's about money.
