A group of 17 authors sued OpenAI for using their copyrighted works without permission to generate creative content.
The authors, Jodi Picoult, John Grisham, and George R.R. Martin among them, are worried that AI could lead to the widespread copying and distribution of their work without their permission.
They are also concerned that AI could make it easier for people to plagiarize their work.
💬 In papers filed Tuesday in federal court in New York, the authors alleged “flagrant and harmful infringements of plaintiffs’ registered copyrights” and called the ChatGPT program a “massive commercial enterprise” that is reliant upon “systematic theft on a mass scale.”
The authors allege that OpenAI’s ChatGPT program is generating infringing content, such as an unauthorized outline for a prequel to “A Game of Thrones” by George R.R. Martin.
OpenAI has denied the allegations, stating that it respects the rights of writers and authors.
The lawsuit is the latest in a wave of legal action by writers concerned about the use of AI to generate creative content. It is important to strike a balance between the benefits and risks of AI-generated content.
