Mathematicians Accuse OpenAI of Unethical Behavior Over Training Data

A second mathematician has come forward accusing OpenAI of unethical behavior and a lack of transparency about the origins of its training data. Andreas Thom raised concerns that interactions he and his colleagues had with the ChatGPT chatbot may have contributed to its success in the field. This is the latest development in a bitter row over whether OpenAI's models benefited from unpublished work. Thom's accusations follow a similar claim made by another researcher just days ago. In a series of posts on Mastodon, Thom expressed his concerns about OpenAI's behavior, describing it as 'dishonest'. The exact nature of the interactions between Thom's team and ChatGPT is unclear, but it is evident that OpenAI's use of external data is under scrutiny. The company's lack of transparency has sparked a heated debate in the mathematical community.
