In the long-standing copyright infringement lawsuit filed by The New York Times against OpenAI, the case has made significant progress. According to Ars Technica, the federal judge presiding over the case has authorized The New York Times and its co-plaintiffs, The New York Daily News and the Investigative Reporting Center, to access OpenAI's user logs, including deleted content, to accurately determine the scope of the infringement. The New York Times believes that ChatGPT users may delete their history after bypassing the paywall, and therefore it is necessary to conduct large-scale data collection.
