Microsoft says virtually nobody was grabbing NYT articles through its chatbot

The story

Microsoft's Copilot rarely reproduces even full sentences from news articles and books, let alone substantive chunks that could substitute for the original, the company says in new legal filings as it fights copyright claims from publishers including The New York Times and book authors.

As part of the lawsuit's discovery, Microsoft provided 8.2 million Copilot chat logs to an expert hired by news publishers.

  • • Microsoft claims Copilot rarely reproduces full sentences or substantive chunks from news articles.

  • • Analysis of 8.2 million chat logs shows less than % contain significant commonalities with news content.

  • • The legal battle involves copyright claims from The New York Times and various book authors.
Context
The New York Times sued Microsoft and OpenAI for unauthorized use of its content to train AI models. This litigation focuses on whether AI outputs act as direct substitutes for original journalism.

Christian Perspective
The struggle over information control highlights the battle for truth in a digital age. Protecting intellectual property is a matter of justice and honoring the work of creators. We must ensure technology serves to enlighten rather than to facilitate deception or theft.

Implications
The outcome will determine how much power massive tech corporations hold over the flow of information. If publishers win, it may consolidate media control under a few elite institutions. This centralization can further marginalize voices that do not align with the prevailing secular orthodoxy.

Broader Trends
This conflict reflects the ongoing tension between technological advancement and established institutional power. It is part of a larger movement where digital platforms and media conglomerates attempt to gatekeep reality. Such control is a tool used by globalist interests to shape public perception.

Takeaway
Prioritize information sources that uphold traditional values and biological realities. Support decentralized technologies like Bitcoin to protect free speech from institutional censorship. Remain vigilant against any entity attempting to monopolize the truth.
