Earlier this week it was announced that Microsoft is joining forces with media website Semafor to use ChatGPT to create news stories. Microsoft and Semafor state they're only using AI to research breaking news stories, but that actual journalists will write original content based on that research.
It's hard to not at least question these claims given that Microsoft and its other partner Open AI, are already facing a lawsuit from the New York Times for using content from behind paywalls to train its AI chatbots. This latest venture seems like a blatant "we don't care" aimed not only towards the NYT but also at journalists.
