The legal woes are piling up for OpenAI, the startup behind the ultra-popular ChatGPT. NPR reports that The New York Times is considering suing OpenAI after attempts to reach a deal in which OpenAI would license news content to train its algorithms failed to progress.
If the lawsuit materializes, it would be the highest-profile attempt yet to bring to heel ChatGPT, a tool whose hype has taken the world by storm. And a successful lawsuit could even go further than that, forcing OpenAI to retrain ChatGPT at great expense, as it would essentially remove much of the language on which the large language model has been trained.
