The new San Francisco lawsuit said that works like books, plays and articles are particularly valuable for ChatGPT's training as the "best examples of high-quality, long form writing." The authors alleged that their writing was included in ChatGPT's training dataset without their permission, arguing that the system can accurately summarize their works and generate text that mimics their styles.
The lawsuit requested an unspecified amount of money damages and an order blocking OpenAI's "unlawful and unfair business practices."
