> OpenAI believes that it took tens of thousands of attempts to get ChatGPT to produce the controversial output that’s the basis of this lawsuit. This is not how normal people interact with its service, it notes

OpenAI boasts constantly about 100+ million people using its ChatGPT product. By this logic 10,000+ users should be seeing results NYT saw. One in a million users are commonplace at scale.

If your stat and premise is correct, 100+ million people need to be prompting ChatGPT to render copies of NYT articles specifically, for 0.01% of them to have a chance to get a meaningful result.

Sure if you assume that,

1. NYT content is the only content OpenAI is plagiarising.

2. The only way to provoke plagiarised content is to specifically prompt for it.
