> It's worth noting that Condé Nast internal policy still forbids its publications from using text created by generative AI, which is consistent with its AI rules before the deal.<p>This is a key point. OpenAI is getting guaranteed non-AI generated text data; which is slowly becoming a very valuable resource. You can expect that future LLMs may not require trillions of tokens of text data to generalize if generalizability is picked up better by future model techniques (which IMO would involve picking up general pattern recognition via non-textual data too (i.e. other modals of the current multi-modal and beyond such as puzzles)), and thus even just millions to billions of tokens via high quality sources like news publications, books, and research papers, will be highly worth it.<p>Also, the SearchGPT integration for latest news is also a plus point. Think of all of those all-you-can-read news subscriptions such as Scroll, but that instead of paying for it that instead paying for SearchGPT covers not just a high quality search engine but also the dues to the news publishers via such payment (via these partnerships) from OpenAI to the news publishers.
