News organizations accuse OpenAI of lying to hide copyright evidence

News organizations led by The New York Times have filed a sanctions motion accusing OpenAI of repeatedly lying to conceal evidence of copyright infringement. The evidence, showing users bypassing paywalls by prompting ChatGPT to reproduce articles, is considered critical to the case. OpenAI had fought to prevent access to millions of logs, citing privacy concerns, but the plaintiffs allege the company hid billions of logs and faked an inability to search its training data.
