>cooperate with Germany's worst news paper

>As part of the deal, ChatGPT users will receive summaries of news stories from Axel Springer’s brands, including Politico, Business Insider, Bild and Welt, with attribution and links to the original sources of reporting, the companies said Wednesday. The agreement will allow OpenAI’s models to take advantage of the publisher’s higher quality and more current information in its chatbots’ answers.

Matthias Döpfner, the CEO of Axel-Springer, lied to get the Leistungsschutzrecht, a law to force search engines to pay for links.

The newspaper of AS regularly publish articles to push their agendas and remove politicians they don't like.

Just look what happened to Federal President of Germany, Christian Wullf, when he declared that Islam is part of Germany.

What happened to him? By reading the Wikipedia article, he seems like a very corrupt individual in a position of power. I don't see how Bild was involved in that.


This is all corporate news everywhere


> publisher’s higher quality

Lol is this a joke? Those are all tabloids.


Worse, it is the Fox News of Germany. Actively trying to create dissent and undermining democracy.


You forgot the /s on your post. I hope at least.


Nope, he didn't, Axel-Springer regularly campaigns against people they don't like, including private people.

Let me quote one of Germany's best cabaret artists, Volker Piepers: "Bild-Zeitung..... this filthy newspaper that is so disgusting that you insult dead fish if you wrap it in it!"

There is a reason Heinrich Böll wrote a book about them:

Thanks for this comment. I am a big fan of Böll and I still keep discovering interesting things about him.


Volker Piepers is radical left wing. In his narrow minded world the left make no mistakes and capitalism is the worst thing ever happened to humanity.

If you consider him "one of Germany's best cabaret artist" you could not have better proven how right I am.
