前研究员猛烈抨击OpenAI：ChatGPT改变互联网生态

Suchir Balaji, a former research scientist at OpenAI, claims in an interview with The New York Times that OpenAI has violated copyright law and that the company's ChatGPT is undermining the internet.

Having spent nearly four years at OpenAI as an AI researcher, Balaji assisted in gathering and curating a large amount of internet data for the development of the chatbot ChatGPT. At the time, he didn't consider whether OpenAI had the legal rights to develop products in this manner and assumed that the company could freely use any internet data, regardless of whether it was copyright-protected.

However, after the release of ChatGPT at the end of 2022, he began to think more deeply about what OpenAI was doing. He came to the conclusion that OpenAI's use of copyright-protected data is a violation of the law and that technologies like ChatGPT are undermining the internet. In August of this year, he left OpenAI because he no longer wanted to contribute to this kind of technology. He believes that the negative impact of such technology on society outweighs the benefits. "If you believe me, you would definitely leave OpenAI," he said in a recent interview with The New York Times.

OpenAI, on the other hand, does not agree with Balaji's claims. In a statement, the company said, "We use publicly available data in a manner consistent with fair use and relevant principles, supported by long-standing legal precedents. We believe this principle is fair for creators, necessary for innovators, and critical for America's competitiveness."
