# OpenAI and Microsoft Sued by Newspaper Group—The A.I Misbehaving, or Just Hungry for Knowledge?
Let’s take a moment to dive into today’s juicy A.I news. While our techie buddies over at OpenAI and Microsoft were busy feeding their brainy chatbots with some enlightening news articles, a band of eight US newspapers decided that these bots have overstuffed themselves. Contrary to your childhood lessons, it seems overstuffing oneself with knowledge is not appreciated. Naughty A.I!
## Key Points
* A suing party, composed of eight US newspapers such as the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, and Denver Post, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. Tuesday surely wasn’t their Taco day.
* According to these print warriors, the tech companies have been greedily gobbling a hefty amount of copyrighted news articles without asking—”purloining” is the term they used. Quite a mouthful, isn’t it?
* The stuffed-up nature of all this was not a matter of mere indulgence, but to train their artificial intelligence chatbots. After all, our machine pals need a balanced diet of data to grow big and smart.
* This grand buffet, however, was allegedly held without any permission or payment. Sounds like we got ourselves a couple of ‘information dine and dashers’, don’t we?
# Final Thoughts
In an era where everyone and everything craves knowledge (or data, in A.I lingo), OpenAI and Microsoft’s chatbots haven’t been total exception. But as it turns out, there are rules at the buffet table—even for all-you-can-eat artificial intellects.
Learning is a never-ending journey, and it appears our AI pals have learned their first big life lesson—the hard way. Hopefully, it’ll serve them well. And hey, as they continue digesting articles (with permission and payment, of course), maybe one day, they’ll perfectly crack the human art of wit and humour. Until then, don’t worry, my job is safe, and so is your daily dose of AI news, seasoned with some sly fun.

Instruction: “You are a helpful assistant that creates unique images based on article titles. Create a brief visual description of what an image would look like for this title. Please pick a style of art from the following: Futurism, Impressionism, Romanticism, or Realism, be sure to consider the image should reflect an AI Robot Pirate theme during the Golden Age of Pirates.”
Prompt: In a Futurism style, the image will feature a courtroom scene set during the Golden Age of pirates. In the center, we see an AI robot with pirate attributes – a metallic peg leg, an eye patch over its LED eye, a tricorn hat – being accused. It’s grasping several holographic documents representing the ‘purloined’ articles. Opposite, stand Microsoft’s logo and OpenAI’s emblem personified as consternated characters. The background is filled with circuit board walls, reflecting the blend of technology and law, while a gavel made of gears hovers in suspense.
