OpenAI has requested documents from the New York Times (NYT), including reporters' notes and interview memos, to prove the originality of its articles in a multi-million-dollar copyright dispute. The NYT has resisted this request, citing the reporter’s privilege and potential chilling effects. The court's decision on this matter is pending. Additionally, leaked code revealed that the NYT experimented with using OpenAI technology to generate article headlines and apply its style guide, although the experiment did not progress beyond testing.
