This goes against everything that the NYT preaches in terms of saying that the press is under attack and needs to be protected. AI consumption of news content makes the news more accessible. Their paid articles don’t overlap with what ChatGPT is doing. This is really a bunch of old people getting butt hurt about tech they don’t fully understand.
If journalists and their platforms do not get paid their articles won't get written. So no, the free absorbtion of professional articles into a LLM that uses the article to answer a Pokemon question online in 6 months is not making "news" more "accesible".
It’s moreso an archive of historical knowledge. Thinking it just answers Pokémon questions is shortsighted.
