The argues against the robots is on! For pretty much all of 2023, land have been talking about generative AI programs like ChatGPT, which can take a simple prompt and generate coherent, legible responses. Is this the end of writing as a profession? If we want to read a good story, do we need to buy something written by a written or can we just tell ChatGPT to spin us a yarn and be satisfied?
The jury is unexcited extremely out on the answers to those and many spanking questions. For instance, there are currently little to no suitable governing the likes of ChatGPT, which works by reading billions of periods of text on the internet and identifying patterns. That employing it’s very likely absorbing the text of copyrighted material exclusive of permission or remuneration, and some authors aren’t happy near that.
To that end, authors like George R.R. Martin, John Grisham and Jonathan Franzen have teamed up to sue ChatGPT’s tidy company OpenAI, alleging “mass-scale copyright infringement.” To prove up their case, the authors cite instances of ChatGPT bodies used to write things that it couldn’t write had it not illegally incorporated copyrighted works. For instance, one fan used ChatGPT to write long, voluminous versions of The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, the next two volumes in Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. The lawsuit specifically cites this work as part of its case proving up OpenAI’s infringing behavior.
To that end, the fan who managed the AI versions of The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring has improper them down. “I am just now learning that I was mentioned in a suitable document pertaining to the OpenAI lawsuit,” reads a meaning where the books were previously located. “I have carried the project from GitHub. Should any of George R. R. Martin’s representatives wish to arrive out, my contact info remains available.”
I don’t think this fan had any ill intentions — I think they were just pursuits this as an experiment and didn’t plan to make wealth off these versions or anything — but I also view the decision to take everything down. Once lawyers get interested, you can’t be too careful.
