Top Authors, Including George R.R. Martin and John Grisham, Sue OpenAI Over ChatGPT

George R.R. Martin and 16 other authors, including John Grisham and Jodi Picoult, have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging copyright infringement. The authors claim that their works of fiction were used without permission to train the AI technology behind OpenAI's ChatGPT. The lawsuit argues that OpenAI could have used works in the public domain or paid a licensing fee instead. The authors are concerned about the impact on their livelihoods and the role of writers as a whole. OpenAI has stated that they want to work with creators and respect their rights. The complaint also mentions AI-generated books on Amazon and an attempt to generate volumes 6 and 7 of George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series.
