While I am no fan of the NYT and other news site’s pricing models, I don’t think that this goes against “protecting the press”. Journalists do a job. They research, compile, draft, and write articles in their own voice (or the voice of the news outlet). They are paid for this work. OpenAI wants to scrape the words off news sites so that their language model can regurgitate them for free.
This is the AI Art thing all over again. Creators should be paid for their work.
