OpenAI's ChatGPT experienced a brief outage on November 9, 2024, rendering the popular AI chatbot unavailable to users. The service resumed shortly thereafter, allowing users to access its capabilities once again. In a separate legal development, a U.S. District Judge dismissed a lawsuit against OpenAI concerning allegations of copyright infringement related to the use of articles from news outlets Raw Story and AlterNet for training its language models. The ruling, delivered by Judge Colleen McMahon, marks a significant legal victory for OpenAI amid ongoing scrutiny over its data usage practices. Additionally, OpenAI is set to introduce a new 'memory' feature for ChatGPT, which will enable the AI to retain information from previous interactions, enhancing user experience through more personalized conversations. This update is expected to further expand the functionality of ChatGPT, which is already integrating a new search tool that provides real-time information from the web.
