From the article:
“The initial complaint, which the group of authors filed in New York’s Southern District, claims that OpenAI copied the authors’ work by using it to train its AI tools like ChatGPT without permission. This group of lauded fiction writers isn’t the first to sue OpenAI and other AI-focused businesses.”
Wanna know what’s funny? Many of these authors borrowed from their predecessors. Anyone reading some of Martin’s work would find similarities to that of Tolkien’s. So should the Tolkien Estate sue Martin? Probably but they’d have a hard time proving the case.
All of these authors who were “inspired” by the greats now want to (justifiably) cry foul when someone (or something) else is doing it to them.
The hypocrisy is strong with this one.
