It seemed as if the last straw for Apple was how OpenAI failed to respond to complaints about trade secret theft, but the ChatGPT maker says it did reply and the real problem is a lack of attention to detail by Apple’s lawyers.

Apple is suing OpenAI over alleged theft of intellectual property, and initially the firm’s response was an empty claim of being unaware of the issue. However, as first spotted by NBC, OpenAI’s lawyers are now concentrating on an issue they seem to think derails the whole suit.
Reportedly, despite Apple saying that OpenAI failed to even respond to its allegations of trade secret theft, the company says it did. A source that is unknown but difficult not to guess, has shared OpenAI emails with NBC and they apparently do confirm that the firm responded.
