In addition to the possible business threat, forcing OpenAI to identify its use of copyrighted data would expose the company to potential lawsuits. Generative AI systems like ChatGPT and DALL-E are trained using large amounts of data scraped from the web, much of it copyright protected. When companies disclose these data sources it leaves them open to legal challenges. OpenAI rival Stability AI, for example, is currently being sued by stock image maker Getty Images for using its copyrighted data to train its AI image generator.

Aaaaaand there it is. They don’t want to admit how much copyrighted materials they’ve been using.

    If you can provide some sources with real data from people that have proven a loss of income due to getting “ripped off” by AI, I’d love to look over it. Until then, it’s a witch hunt.

      I can provide you with reddit posts from artists who are replaced by AI.

      Would you like it served with a cup of tea and some sandwiches?

        If you have some that have actual proof in them, sure. That’s exactly what I’m looking for. However, if it amounts to nothing more than hearsay, then no, I don’t think I want them.
