OpenAI and other companies have argued that it is fair use to train AI using copyrighted material taken from the internet.
The new lawsuit in San Francisco says that works like books, plays, and articles are especially valuable for ChatGPT's training because they are "the best examples of long, high-quality text."
The authors allege that their articles were included in ChatGPT's training dataset without their permission, arguing that the system was able to accurately summarize their work and generate text that mimicked their style.
The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of damages and an injunction to stop OpenAI’s “unlawful and unfair business practices.”
