Author and comedian Sarah Silverman is filing a lawsuit against OpenAI and Meta along with two other authors, Richard Kadrey and Christopher Golden, in U.S. District Court over copyright infringement claims.
OpenAI lawsuit
Among other things, the lawsuits allege that OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Meta’s LLaMA were trained on illegally acquired datasets and contained their works taken from “shadow library” websites. dark” like Library Genesis, Bibliotik, Z-Library, etc. They say that the book is available in bulk through the torrent system. When asked, Kadrey and Golden declined to comment on the lawsuit. Silverman’s team also did not provide an answer.
In the OpenAI lawsuit, the authors say that when prompted, OpenAI’s ChatGPT summarizes their books and thus violates their copyright. Silverman’s Bedwetter is the first book summarized by ChatGPT. Golden’s Ararat and Kadrey’s Sandman Slim are also examples. The complaints in the lawsuit also say that ChatGPT does not provide any copyright management data that authors include with their published works.
The lawsuit against Meta
In the lawsuit against Meta, the plaintiffs allege that their books were actually accessible in the datasets used by Meta to train the LLaMA models introduced in February.
The lawsuit outlines step by step why the authors believe the datasets were illegally sourced, i.e. in a Mera paper containing LLaMA. The company claims that one of its data sources is ThePile. ElorAI is the company that assembles ThePile. The lawsuit points out that ThePile described in the EleutherAI article was assembled from “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.
Claims
The authors say they “disagree with the use of their copyrighted books as training material” for the companies’ AI models. Each lawsuit contains six counts of various types of piracy, unfair competition, unjust enrichment, and negligence. The authors are seeking statutory damages and a refund of profits.
