The New York Times filed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft last year alleging they illegally used its articles to train artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT.

This week , the Times alleged that OpenAI 's engineers inadvertently erased data the paper’s team spent more than 150 hours extracting as potential evidence.

OpenAI was able to recover much of the data, but the Times ' legal team says it's still missing the original file names and folder structure.
