Lawsuit Overview
On Friday, Encyclopedia Britannica and dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster filed a lawsuit against OpenAI. The suit alleges that OpenAI used their copyrighted content to train its AI models, which then generated responses substantially similar to their content, as previously reported by Reuters.
GPT-4 itself has 'memorized' much of Britannica's copyrighted content and will output near-verbatim copies of significant portions on demand. The memorized examples are unauthorized copies that [OpenAI] used to train their models, including GPT-4.
