Sarah Silverman joins lawsuit agains creators of ChatGPT
Silverman alleges that her book, 'The Bedwetter,' was not authorized for use in training AI models. The plaintiffs claim that copyright law is violated by ChatGPT since it produces a "derivative" version of their works when instructed to summarize a source.
In addition to unauthorized use of their works, the authors claim the companies' AI models were trained with content from "shadow libraries" such as Library Genesis and Z-Library, which is "flagrantly illegal".
Each case reportedly contains six counts of copyright violations. The authors demand "statutory damages and restitution of profits," 'HuffPost' reports. Their attorneys detailed AI's impact on their website.
