Future, a prominent publisher of gaming and tech sites such as PC Gamer and GamesRadar, has announced a new partnership with OpenAI aimed at enhancing the ChatGPT experience.

This collaboration builds on Future's previous utilization of OpenAI's technology, which includes existing chatbots on platforms like Tom's Hardware and Who What Wear that provide sourced information.

As part of this partnership, ChatGPT users will have access to Future's journalism, complete with links and proper attribution to the original articles, promoting transparency.

However, there are growing concerns regarding the implications of incorporating writers' work into AI systems, particularly fears about potential job losses and the overall quality of journalism.

Critics argue that such partnerships primarily benefit OpenAI and the publishers involved, while undermining the interests of the writers whose content is being utilized.

The article reflects on the precarious state of games journalism, suggesting that the situation is unlikely to improve with these types of partnerships, and raises doubts about whether Future's writers will see any financial benefits from their contributions.

In light of these developments, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has recently moderated his earlier comments regarding the economic impact of AI, indicating that the disruption may unfold more gradually than initially expected.

Adding to the controversy, OpenAI is currently facing legal challenges from Canadian news publishers and The New York Times over copyright issues related to its AI technology.

This situation draws a stark contrast to Business Insider's past experiences, where proper attribution for their content was not upheld, raising further concerns about the treatment of writers in the industry.
