Episode Details

OpenAI’s copyright defense is crumbling under fire from the New York Times and Daily News, who accuse the AI giant of hiding evidence in its copyright lawsuit. The core dispute? Whether ChatGPT trained on copyrighted news articles. OpenAI previously claimed it couldn’t search its own data without violating user privacy — but an engineer’s deposition contradicts that, revealing they did search for copyrighted content. Plaintiffs also slammed OpenAI for submitting redacted chat logs so useless they’re nearly meaningless, and possibly deleting data after the lawsuit, violating court orders. The news outlets are demanding the judge sanction OpenAI for obstructing discovery, arguing the logs would prove heavy copyright use — and that OpenAI should forfeit legal costs. OpenAI denies everything, blaming the Times for attacking user privacy as its case weakens, while insisting it’s defending fair use. This showdown exposes the high-stakes clash between AI innovation and intellectual property rights.
