A title I never expected to write, but there it is.

NYT updated their TOS to prevent scraping for AI training purposes and might be able to cripple OpenAI with their lawsuit.

    This is how it will shake out though.

    If you’re a big corporation (facebook/nyt), ChatGPT will have to pay you massive licensing fees to scrape. If you’re a regular person posting to a platform, you will have no protections because of a platform EULA. The platform will call your work “data” and sell all rights to it, to whatever AI can pay.

    The best AI will cost more than you can afford, because they have paid the most for their datasets (your work.)
