The reporting

The New York Times, the Daily News, the Chicago Tribune, Ziff Davis and 13 other publishers asked a federal judge to sanction OpenAI, saying the company withheld evidence in their copyright lawsuits over ChatGPT. The motion says OpenAI misrepresented its ability to search customer chat logs and training datasets for the publishers’ copyrighted articles.
