"Describing OpenAI's alleged "playbook" to dodge copyright claims, news groups accused OpenAI of failing to "take any steps to suspend its routine destruction practices." There were also "two spikes in mass deletion" that OpenAI attributed to "technical issues." However, OpenAI made sure to retain outputs that could help its defense, the court filing alleged, including data from accounts cited in news organizations' complaints. OpenAI did not take the same care to preserve chats that could be used as evidence against it, news groups alleged,"
""In other words, OpenAI preserved evidence of the News Plaintiffs eliciting their own works from OpenAI's products but deleted evidence of third-party users doing so," the filing said. It's unclear how much data was deleted, plaintiffs alleged, since OpenAI won't share "the most basic information" on its deletion practices. But it's allegedly very clear that OpenAI could have done more to preserve the data, since Microsoft apparently had no trouble doing so with Copilot, the filing said."
News groups allege OpenAI failed to suspend routine data-destruction practices and experienced two mass-deletion spikes that OpenAI attributed to technical issues. News groups say OpenAI selectively preserved outputs useful to its defense, including data from accounts cited in their complaints, while failing to preserve chats that could be evidence against it. Testimony from Mike Trinh is cited about preservation differences. Plaintiffs say OpenAI declined to share basic information about deletion practices, while Microsoft preserved Copilot logs. Plaintiffs ask the court to compel Microsoft to produce searchable Copilot logs and to determine whether deleted OpenAI logs can be retrieved.
