Author and comedian Sarah Silverman is suing OpenAI and Meta along with two other authors, Richard Kadrey and Christopher Golden, in US District Court for alleged copyright infringement.
The lawsuit against OpenAI
Among other things, the lawsuits allege that OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Meta’s LLaMA trained on illegally obtained datasets containing their works obtained from “shadow library” websites. dark” like Library Genesis, Bibliotik, Z-Library, etc. Books are said to be available in bulk through a torrent system. When asked, Kadrey and Golden declined to comment on the lawsuit. Silverman’s team also did not respond.
In the lawsuit against OpenAI, the authors said that OpenAI’s ChatGPT would condense their books and thus infringe their copyrights. Silverman’s Bedwetter was the first book that ChatGPT could view summaries of. Golden’s Ararat and Kadrey’s Sandman Slim are also examples. Complaints in the lawsuit also say that ChatGPT failed to provide any copyright management information that authors included in their published works.
The lawsuit against Meta
In the lawsuit against Meta, the plaintiffs claim that their books were actually available in the dataset Meta used to train the LLaMA model published in February.
The lawsuit gradually states why the authors believe that the datasets contained illegitimate origins, i.e. in the Mera document containing LLaMA. The company claims that one of the sources of the dataset is ThePile. EeitherAI is the company incorporating ThePile. The lawsuit states that ThePile described in the EleutherAI article includes “a copy of the content of the privacy tracker Bibliotik.” Bibliotik, along with other shadow libraries named in the lawsuit, are accused of being blatantly illegal.
