Jokes on them newspapers are written on an eighth grade reading level.

From now on, everyone in AI generated text gets slammed and everything is preceded by “allegedly”.

So, if you write for those outlets, you are training your replacement?

Journalists should gain a new tool to help write articles in real time, that is then looked over by a real person. In our current environment this tool is already being used for misinformation. Its still too dangerous.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

On Wednesday, Axios broke the news that OpenAI had signed deals with The Atlantic and Vox Media that will allow the ChatGPT maker to license their editorial content to further train its language models.

While the company maintains the practice is fair use, it has simultaneously licensed training content from publishing groups like Axel Springer and social media sites like Reddit and Stack Overflow, sparking protests from users of those platforms.

On X, Vox reporter Kelsey Piper, who recently penned an exposé about OpenAI’s restrictive non-disclosure agreements that prompted a change in policy from the company, wrote, “I’m very frustrated they announced this without consulting their writers, but I have very strong assurances in writing from our editor in chief that they want more coverage like the last two weeks and will never interfere in it.

The San Francisco-based company is currently in the middle of a lawsuit with The New York Times in which OpenAI claims that scraping data from publications for AI training purposes is fair use.

NYT’s counsel Ian Crosby previously told Ars that OpenAI’s decision “to enter into deals with news publishers only confirms that they know their unauthorized use of copyrighted work is far from ‘fair.’”

The people who continue to maintain and serve The Atlantic deserve to know what precisely management has licensed to an outside firm and how, specifically, they plan to use the archive of our creative output and our work product.”

The original article contains 939 words, the summary contains 240 words. Saved 74%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

NYT’s counsel Ian Crosby previously told Ars that OpenAI’s decision "to enter into deals with news publishers only confirms that they know their unauthorized use of copyrighted work is far from 'fair.'"

It means they know that they'll get harassed with lawsuits and are willing to spend some money to preemptively buy off potential litigants before it gets to that point. Whether that's "fair" is not really relevant to the realities of the legal system.
