Two award-winning authors recently sued OpenAI, accusing the generative-AI bastion of violating copyright law by using their published books to train ChatGPT without their consent.
Filed in late June, the lawsuit claims that ChatGPT’s underlying large language model “ingested” the copyrighted work of the case’s plaintiffs, authors Mona Awad and Paul Tremblay. They argue that ChatGPT’s ability to produce detailed summaries of their works indicates their books were included in datasets used to train the technology.
I don’t think these cases have even a slight hope they really shouldn’t unless it was illegal to read their work in the first place. In which case being an author should be the actual crime.
