This publication is the most recent large publication to get payment from the ChatGPT creator.
With the signing of a licensing agreement with OpenAI, Time has joined the growing number of media that have done so. According to a revelation that was initially published by Axios, the designer of ChatGPT will have the legal ability to train its massive language models on 101 years’ worth of news from the illustrious publication.
Additionally, OpenAI will have access to real-time content from Time, with the apparent intention of responding to user inquiries regarding breaking news announcements. In return, OpenAI will provide a citation to Time and link back to the original material that is located on the website of the newspaper.
It is possible that Time will also receive a financial kickback, similar to other publishers who have shifted their focus to OpenAI with a frayed cap in hand and an eye on one as a new revenue source for media companies that are experiencing financial difficulties. Additionally, the Atlantic, Vox Media, the publisher of the Wall Street Journal, News Corp., the Financial Times, Dotdash Meredith, the publisher of People magazine, and the Associated Press have all been enticed by various bank deposits from OpenAI that are considered to be snake oil.
According to Time, the deal is a continuation of the company’s “commitment to expanding global access to accurate and trusted information.” Last year, for the same reason, it removed the barrier that was used on its website.
It has been stated that the magazine would have access to OpenAI’s technology in order to “develop new products for its audiences.” This comes after the magazine was severely impacted by the influence that the internet has had on print advertising. The magazine is now published every other week. The organization will additionally “provide vital feedback and share practical applications to refine and enhance the delivery of journalism in ChatGPT and other OpenAI products and shape the future of news experiences.”
Up to this point, there have been a few noteworthy publishers who have refused to bow down to OpenAI. The company and its partner Microsoft have been sued for copyright infringement by a number of publications, including the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, the New York Daily News, and others. The lawsuit alleges that the company trained artificial intelligence chatbots on the work of these publications without obtaining permission.
