Prominent Authors File Lawsuit Against OpenAI for Copyright Infringement

John Grisham, Jodi Picoult, and George RR Martin are among 17 authors who have filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging "systematic theft on a mass scale" and copyright infringement. The authors claim that OpenAI's ChatGPT program generates infringing content without permission, posing a threat to the literary culture and creative industries. The Authors Guild organized the lawsuit, which also includes authors such as David Baldacci and Jonathan Franzen. OpenAI has not yet responded to the allegations. This is the latest legal action by authors concerned about AI using their copyrighted works without authorization.
