GoKawiilUnsealed NYT lawsuit filings show Microsoft knew AI created 'doom loops'
Newly unredacted documents in the New York Times' copyright lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI show internal Microsoft materials acknowledging that AI products were creating 'doom loops' that undermine the economic foundations of the content creators supplying their training data. One document states the company's AI content strategy threatens the performance of its models and the broader web by damaging the very suppliers it depends on.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The documents suggest AI companies were internally aware their products could hollow out the media and creative industries they depend on for content, even as they pushed those products to market. This could fuel arguments in the lawsuit and broader debate that AI firms knowingly profited from a system they recognized as unsustainable for publishers, musicians and other creators.
