Britannica’s lawsuit said that OpenAI unlawfully copied nearly 100,000 of its articles to train GPT large language models. The complaint said that ChatGPT produces “near-verbatim” copies of Britannica’s encyclopedia entries, dictionary definitions and other content, diverting users who would otherwise visit its websites.
But if the responses backlinked to Britannica, would the case be void? I’m trying to understand how this differs from all the other instances of OpenAI using sources for training data without consent?
