Unlocking the Power of OpenAI: Harnessing the Potential of Copying and Pasting

Unlocking the Power of OpenAI: Harnessing the Potential of Copying and Pasting

Every time ⁢I publish a story, it gets‌ stolen about 20 times. For instance, my last column on ​holiday layoffs was copied and pasted by numerous rip-off sites more than a dozen times in a ⁢single day. They do this to get readers’ ‌views without compensating me.

Automated content scraping sites don’t make much money, but the process doesn’t cost​ them much either. OpenAI, on the ​other ⁢hand, made $1.3 billion in revenue in 2023 without paying ⁤me a dime.

OpenAI claims that “training AI models using‌ publicly ⁣available⁤ internet materials is fair use” in ⁤response to the New​ York Times’ copyright lawsuit. However, the Times argues⁤ that millions ⁣of its articles are being used to train chatbots that compete with it. OpenAI and other generativeAI​ (genAI) companies are making billions from the work of the paper’s writers and editors without paying for it.

OpenAI also claims that the Times‌ can opt-out from letting its stories be used in ChatGPT’s LLM, but ⁤how​ did ChatGPT plagiarize articles such as a Pulitzer-Prize-winning, five-part 18-month investigation into predatory lending practices in New York City’s taxi industry?

OpenAI admits that memorization ‌is a ⁤rare failure⁤ of the learning process, but it’s more common when particular content appears more than once in⁢ training data, like if pieces of it appear on lots of different public‍ websites.

OpenAI admits that the‌ taxi series rip-off appears to have emerged “from years-old articles that have‍ proliferated on multiple third-party websites.”

OpenAI’s entire business model relies on ⁣hoovering up as much data as it can find, often including copyrighted ⁢material.
