In December 2023, the New York Times launched one lawsuit against OpenAi and Microsoft, claiming copyright infringement. The New York Times claims that Openi Had his trained Chatgpt Model, which is also surprised by Microsoft Second pilotBy “copying and copying millions” without permission are articles.
The lawsuit is still ongoing, and as part of that the New York Times (and other claimants involved in the case) have made the requirement that OpenAi is being done to retain consumer chatgpt and API customer data for an indefinite period of time, to Sam Altman’s great anger, CEO of OpenAi, who brought to X.com to X.com to X.com tweet“We recently thought about the necessity of something like ‘Ai Privilege’; this really speeds up the need to have the conversation.

At present, a chatgpt -chat is immediately removed from your account when you delete the conversation and planned within 30 days for permanent removal of OpenAI systems. The order would mean that even deleted chatgpt conversations must be stored by OpenAI.
As a Chatgpt user, I have always appreciated the possibility of being able to completely remove conversations. If OpenAi is forced to meet this request, then this has almost everyone who uses the service, on a free, plus, pro or teams (but no enterprise or EDU account holders).
The order also has no influence on API customers who use zero data -end points under the ZDR amendment of OpenAi.
OpenAi said that it appealed to the order to the judge of the district court and will inform us when it knows more.
