Microsoft says virtually nobody was grabbing NYT articles through its chatbot

Microsoft asserts in new legal filings that its Copilot chatbot rarely reproduces full sentences or substantive chunks from books and news articles. This claim comes as the company fights copyright lawsuits from authors and The New York Times. To support its position during discovery, Microsoft provided 8.2 million Copilot samples. This legal battle could redefine the role of AI in content creation and impact copyright laws regarding how tech companies utilize published material.
