Some of the world's major media companies such as Disney, Bloomberg, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Axios, Insider, ABC News, ESPN, Condé Nast, Hearst, and Vox Media began to block ChatGPT bots from accessing their site content. The move comes after CNN, The New York Times, and Reuters blocked similar bots last week and The New York Times wants to sue OpenAI, which developed ChatGPT, for using their content without permission to train artificial intelligence (AI) models.
ChatGPT
GPTBot was launched a few months ago with the ability to read internet content to get the most up-to-date and accurate information. ChatGPT is only trained using data up to 2020 only. Among the issues that users have found is that the answers given by ChatGPT are out of date.
Earlier this month OpenAI released a code that allows site owners to prevent GPTBot from accessing the site if they do not want the data to be used without permission. Currently OpenAI is facing a class action lawsuit filed by several authors claiming their books were used for model training without compensation being paid.
