Comment on Grisham, Martin join authors suing OpenAI: “There is nothing fair about this”
Akisamb@programming.dev 1 year agoSame principle why Google can index pretty much all books in existence. They were sued over this and won. Same thing will happen here.
As long as these models are not providing the copyrighted material to their users they should be safe.

@Akisamb yes I think you're right.
That one was really interesting too. It has put a few more limits on its full text since those days, but I don't know how much that was a result of the suit.
The authors from my country tried to have a group lawsuit against Google because within my country, if your books are in public libraries, then you get yearly compensation based on how many copies are in circulation.
But, Google and America are both a lot more rich and powerful than a handful of authors from New Zealand, so I don't know what they though they could achieve.
