If one asks Google’s AI service Gemini for a passage from George R.R. Martin’s acclaimed work ‘A Song of Ice and Fire,’ it only takes AI a second to do so. This is undeniable proof that the work is somewhere in the LLM’s database. The claim made by the lawsuit is “The authors' books were used without their permission to make ChatGPT smarter. [...] According to the filing, it accused OpenAI of engaging in "systematic theft on a mass scale". (BBC). This quote is also present in the introduction statement of the lawsuits “class action complaint;” “Defendants copied Plaintiffs’ works wholesale, without permission or consideration. Defendants then fed Plaintiffs’ copyrighted works into their “large language models” or “LLMs,” algorithms designed to output human-seeming text responses to users’ prompts and queries. These algorithms are at the heart of massive commercial enterprise. And at the heart of these algorithms is systematic theft on a mass scale.” (Authors Guild et al.)
The perspective of the authors involved in the suing of OpenAI is that George R.R. Martin’s work, and the works by Jonathan Franzen, Jodi Picoult, and George Saunders, to name a few authors, are that OpenAI has stolen these works, without permission, to use in their services, without compensation. OpenAI and similar services do not ask for permission from individual authors when using works made by other creators for its language learning. OpenAI does have a privacy policy illustrating how it uses the personal data of its users, but it does not go into detail about its policy in regards to copyrighted material. Ethically, the Authors Guild is correct; ChatGPT did use their work without permission. ChatGPT is using its work to feed its data and produce more written work. With that in mind, how does Penguin Random House think the usage of AI is in line with their beliefs? How can they protect the copyright of their authors' work if it is used to feed large language models?
