Controversy over OpenAI's use of YouTube videos to train GPT-4. Google stated that it had seen unconfirmed reports about OpenAI using YouTube content without permission.

It reflects a broader trend in this field, where the appetite of developers of artificial intelligence systems is close to exceeding the limits of the available resources of this data.
