Makers of OpenAI Says New York Times ‘Hacked’ ChatGPT to build Copyright Lawsuit
The creator of ChatGPT OpenAI has asked the court to dismiss The New York Times lawsuit against it. OpenAI alleges that the media company “paid someone to hack OpenAI’s products,” so that they can generate copyright infringement for its case. “They were able to do so only by targeting and exploiting a bug by using deceptive prompts that blatantly violate OpenAI’s terms of use,” OpenAI said, asking to dismiss the case.
The New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, the creator of Chatgpt and other similar products. In this Lawsuit, they allege that ChatGpt and Microsoft are copying published content from The New York Times to train the ChatGPT Chatbot.
Now on Monday in Manhattan federal court, OpenAI alleged that it took thousands of attempts to generate highly anomalous results like this. Also, they claimed that the New York Times has tried to trick Chatgpt with “deceptive prompts that blatantly violate OpenAI’s terms of use.” In continuing with this “Normal people do not use OpenAI’s products in this way,” OpenAI wrote in the filing.

“The allegations in the Times’ complaint do not meet its famously rigorous journalistic standards,” OpenAI said. “The truth, which will come out in the course of this case, is that the Times paid someone to hack OpenAI’s products.”
Quick Reply from the New York Times
However, the attorney of the New York Times Ian Crosby replied to this by saying- “What OpenAI bizarrely mischaracterizes as ‘hacking’ is simply using OpenAI’s products to look for evidence that they stole and reproduced The Times’s copyrighted work.”
In their filing on Monday, OpenAI alleged “hacking” which also means prompt engineering or “red-teaming”. It is a very common way in the AI industry to they can alert companies about any kind of issues in their system or about the weakness of their websites. This filing has heated up the war between Media companies and OpenAI.

Statement of Sam Altman
When The New York Times filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, the CEO of OenAI said that they were not afraid at all of this lawsuit. “We actually don’t need to train on their data. I think this is something that people don’t understand. Anyone particular training source, it doesn’t move the needle for us that much.” – said Sam Altman.
