What, another one?!
OpenAI and Microsoft are embroiled in another lawsuit involving digital media outlets Raw Story, AlterNet, and The Intercept over alleged copyright infringement.
These outlets have taken legal action against the tech duo for using copyrighted content without proper credit to train AI technology, demanding financial compensation and removing the content from AI training datasets.
This is a familiar story, and this is the second lawsuit that OpenAI has faced within the last 24 hours, as Elon Musk has attempted to do so. sue the company founderGreg Brockman and Sam Altman violated the company’s founding agreement.
The new copyright lawsuit alleges that ChatGPT trained in copyrighted journalism without required credit or citations and seeks at least $2,500 per infringement.
that much Submission Description, “Generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems and large-scale language models (LLMs) are trained using human-generated tasks. AI systems and LLMs absorb enormous amounts of human creativity and use it to mimic the way humans write and speak. These training sets contain hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of pieces of journalism.”
It also Recent research by Copyleaks“According to the award-winning website Copyleaks, in a study conducted by Copyleaks, nearly 60% of the responses provided by the accused’s GPT-3.5 product contained some form of plagiarized content, and more than 45% contained text identical to the following: It was done. “Existing content.”
John Byrne, CEO and founder of Raw Story and owner of AlterNet, made clear his growing dissatisfaction with Big Tech’s practices in a bold statement. Big Tech has killed journalism. “It is time for publishers to take a stand.”
The biggest concern here, as with other lawsuits, is that AI companies like OpenAI have trained their models on vast amounts of data that they consider “open source,” “public domain,” or “fair use.”
The problem is that these concepts are very vague. Copyright law itself was not formed with training AI models in mind.
OpenAI recently responded to a New York Times lawsuit, which is probably its highest profile yet. I just paid someone To ‘hack’ their product. OpenAI claimed that the NYT used numerous complex prompts to essentially force the creation of a copyright infringement case.
As tensions rise over generative AI companies, the industry is approaching a crossroads.
