Makes sense, OpenAI will probably have to apply for a TV-license first.

I don't live in the UK, but I would gladly pay the TV license fee, or even a premium on top of it, if I had unlimited access to iPlayer. My only option right now is BritBox, which is not great and not really worth the money.
Just VPN to the UK and then tick the box which says you have a TV license? Or there are other ways to get the content most likely! 🏴☠️
VPNs are always blocked in my experience.
I wonder if anyone thinks robots.txt is binding or not ignored by anyone who wants.
OpenAI will have to deal with a lot of lawsuits in the future. Robots.txt may not be legally binding but disobeying it after claiming otherwise would go a long way towards establishing intent.
I mean, under the CFAA you could probably pretty easily pursue charges when explicitly deauthorizing certain agents from accessing your data. Plenty of people have been threatened and prosecuted for less.
I mean, you could just block OpenAI's crawlers' IP addresses, if you wanted to
Big businesses wont lift a finger to halt global warming, but the second their precious copyrights are attacked they go into full force.
I mean, yeah? Corporations are always going to act in their best interest, that's why regulation exists.
Kinda late
I’d rather have ChatGPT know about news content than not. I appreciate the convenience. The news shouldn’t have barriers.
But ChatGPT often takes correct and factual sources and adds a whole bunch of nonsense and then spits out false information. That's why it's dangerous. Just go to the fucking news websites and get your information from there. You don't need ChatGPT for that.
So they have automated Fox then.
Yeah, pretty much.

The pure ChatGPT output would probably be garbage. The dataset will be full of all manner of sources (together with their inherent biases) together with spin, untruths and outright parody and it’s not apparent that there is any kind of curation or quality assurance on the dataset (please correct me if I’m wrong).
I don’t think it’s a good tool for extracting factual information from. It does seem to be good at synthesising prose and helping with writing ideas.
I am quite interested in things like this where the output from a “knowledge engine” is paired with something like ChatGPT - but it would be for eg writing a science paper rather than news.

Exactly. The data harvest has had years in the making.
Curious what the mechanism for this will be. CAPTCHA can sometimes be relatively easy to pass and at worst can be farmed out to humans.
ChatGPT took down its Internet search to implement a robots.txt rule it would obey and allow content providers time to add it to their lists. This was done because they were being used to get around paywalls. So it’s actually very easy for them to do this for ChatGPT, specifically, which makes articles like this ridiculous.

When the horses have all bolted, BBC is the one to close the barn door.
Also FYI, you can see what some of the most popular websites that already blocked ChatGPT: https://wayde.gg/websites-blocking-openai
Comments are full of AI experts with wild theories about how Chat GPT works, lmao
The number of people with strong opinions on AI vastly exceeds the number of people who understand transformers architecture.
Not for long. AI knows how to lie.
