Still, that's a bug not a feature. OpenAI will just respond that its already been fixed and pay them damages of $2.50 or something to cover the few times it happened under very specific conditions.
Just to double check that it was fixed, I asked ChatGPT what was on the front page of the New York times today and I get a summary with paraphrased titles. It doesn't reproduce anything exactly (not even the headlines).
Interestingly, the summary is made by taking screenshots of a (probably illegal) PDF it found someplace on the internet. It then cites that sketchy PDF as the source rather than linking back to the original NY Times articles.
If I were the NYT I would still be plenty pissed off.
