Have you made an AI image this year?
The New York Times is considering suing OpenAI over alleged copyright violations, claiming ChatGPT used “NYT” content without permission for training.
But it's unclear if laws were actually violated… OpenAI faces financial penalties if found to be infringing copyrights. If found guilty, removing training data poses an almost impossible task without rebuilding models.
Other authors have sued OpenAI for similar reasons, but none have been successful so far.

Daily Definition
NPU
An NPU, or Neural Processing Unit, is a specialized hardware designed to accelerate neural network computations, crucial for AI tasks. Unlike general-purpose CPUs, NPUs are optimized for the massive parallel processing demands of AI, leading to faster and more efficient machine learning operations. Think of it as a 'brain' crafted explicitly for understanding and processing AI-related tasks.
