New York Times says OpenAI hid evidence in ChatGPT copyright trial

The New York Times and The Daily News have accused OpenAI of obstructing the discovery process in their ongoing copyright lawsuit. The plaintiffs claim that OpenAI falsely argued that searching its training data for copyrighted material was technically unfeasible, despite internal evidence showing the company had already developed tools to track such data. Allegations include that OpenAI maintained a database of de-identified conversations and used internal filters to detect regurgitated content. Consequently, the plaintiffs are seeking court sanctions against OpenAI, including the exclusion of unreliable evidence and the recovery of legal fees, while OpenAI maintains that these claims are false and an attempt to invade user privacy.
