If the NYT is paywalled, how did the training of ChatGPT have access to it? If OpenAI negotiated terms with NYT for access, the question is then whether ChatGPT violates those terms.
I guess NYT spits out unpaywalled articles to search engines (to get clicks and expecting search engines’ users won’t have access to the full texts), but getting unpaywalled HTML doesn’t mean you can use it however you want. OpenAI did not negotiate the terms prior to scrapping NYT, according to the lawsuit. I believe the NYT terms prohibit commercial use without acquiring a license; I think the lawsuit mentioned the price along the lines of a standard cost of $10 per article if you want to circulate it internally in your company
The NYT paywall doesn’t didn’t do anything if Javascript is disabled.
EDIT: I’ve noticed recently that NYT articles are cut-off before the end now, even without JavaScript. I wonder if the timing of this paywall upgrade is related to the lawsuit?
