The article provides an update on the OpenAI copyright infringement lawsuit: the court has ordered that a massive amount of ChatGPT user conversation logs be provided to the plaintiffs in a de-identified format for keyword searches and other litigation purposes. OpenAI objected to the order, but the court upheld it, and the logs are now in the discovery process. The piece focuses on whether "de-identification" is practically sufficient to protect user privacy, and how courts balance discovery against privacy protection.
