More big city newspapers drag Microsoft, OpenAI hard in copyright lawsuit

Eight big-city American newspapers have banded together to sue Microsoft and OpenAI, claiming the tech duo unlawfully used the publishers' copyrighted articles to train AI models.

The suit also includes screenshots of ChatGPT and Copilot quoting the papers' articles verbatim, sometimes spitting out large chunks and weaving quotes into and out of text. Copilot was even able to regurgitate articles that had been recently published and without so much as a hyperlink back to the source websites.

The eight counts in the lawsuit thus broadly charge Microsoft and OpenAI with copyright infringement and defamation. The plaintiffs didn't ask for a specific amount of compensation, and simply said they wanted damages, attorney fees paid, and any extra relief that the court sees as appropriate.
