To me it's pretty clear the way this will happen. You will need to buy additional credits or subscriptions through these LLMs that feedback payment to things like NYT and book publishers. It's all stolen. I don't even want to hear it. This company doesn't want to pay up and willing to let user's privacy hang in the balance to draw the case out until they get sure footing with their device launches or the like (or additional markets like enterprise, etc).

LLMs are not massive archives of data. The big models are a few TB in size. No one is forgoing a NYT subscription because they can ask ChatGPT to print out NYT news stories.

Regardless of the representation, some people are replacing news consumption generally with answers from ChatGPT.
Copyright is pretty narrowly tailored to verbatim reproduction of content so I doubt they will have to pay anything.
incorrect. copyright applies to derived works.
Even then, it's possible to prompt the model to exactly reproduce the copyrighted works.
Please show me one of these prompts
NYT has examples in their legal complaint. See page 30.
