2 authors say OpenAI 'ingested' their books to train ChatGPT. Now they're suing, and a 'wave' of similar court cases may follow.
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.
The suit is the latest example of tension between creatives and generative AI tools capable of producing text and images in seconds. Many workers in creative fields are concerned with how the fast-developing technology could impact their careers and livelihoods. And these concerns may increasingly manifest in legal challenges.
Gervais expects many more authors will sue companies developing large language models and generative AI as these programs advance and improve at replicating the style of writers and artists. He believes a deluge of legal challenges targeting the output of tools like ChatGPT nationwide is imminent. Proving the authors in the case incurred monetary damages due to OpenAI's data-collection practices, like the complaint alleges, may be challenging. Gervais told Insider that ChatGPT may have gleaned Awad and Tremblay's work from alternative sources other than the source material from the authors, but that it was possible the bot"ingested" their books like the lawsuit claims.
