John Grisham, Jodi Picoult and George R.R. Martin are among 17 authors suing OpenAI for \u0022systematic theft on a mass scale.\u0022
The lawsuit cites specific ChatGPT searches for each author, such as one for Martin that alleges the program generated “an infringing, unauthorized, and detailed outline for a prequel” to “A Game of Thrones” that was titled “A Dawn of Direwolves” and used “the same characters from Martin’s existing books in the series “A Song of Ice and Fire.”
