I'm sympathetic to the NYT, even if it's not reproducing their IP verbatim.
AI companies need to acknowledge that their LLMs would be worthless without training data and compensate/credit the sources appropriately.

It's not just that it circumvents the paywall, it makes up random nonsense and then claim the NYT said it.
I've never got why people don't see this about AI. When it "works" it's just spitting out what a human was paid (Avery low wage) to write, when it has to come up with something that hasn't been written, it just slaps nonsense together.
It's not real AI, it's just next generation search engines that gives unreliable results.
You just don't notice if you don't already know what you're asking.
Even tho these LLM work by just figuring out next word (token) that makes sense, it is still able to generate things that no human has ever written before. It isn't just copypasting stuff together.
I use GPT4 daily basis on coding and the way it spills out complex code templates/snippets, which are unique to the problem, is not just not possible without model having some level of intelligence. Of course it hallucinates now and then, but so does most of the coders now and then
