Another take on paywalled content, from an AI. Gemini happily provided me a summary of a paywalled NY Times article, but pleaded that it couldn't provide the full content:
I do not have access to the full, word-for-word text of the New York Times article. As an AI, I am unable to bypass paywalls, log into external accounts, or reproduce entire copyrighted articles from subscription-based news websites.
To read the interactive graphics, explore the full blueprint breakdowns, and read the complete reporting, you can access the article directly on The New York Times website using an active subscription or a digital pass.Very interesting... But I have to wonder if Gemini actually does have a paid subscription which it is using to provide the summary, despite it claiming otherwise. How else could it provide an accurate summary? Then again, if I merely switch to "reader view" in my browser, I seem to have access to the complete text of the article, sans images, and with no apparent paywall. Am I still stealing?
This was the article in question:
