A letter signed by 9,000 authors calls out AI companies for allegedly using the writers' books to train chatbots without consent, credit or compensation.

More than 9,000 authors are calling out the tech companies behind generative AI in an open letter that states there is an inherent injustice in exploiting copyright-protected works to train chatbots without consent, credit or compensation. If users prompt GPT-4 to summarize works by Roxane Gay or Margaret Atwood, it can do so in detail, chapter by chapter.

“We understand that many of the books used to develop AI systems originated from notorious piracy websites,” the letter continues. “Not only does the recent Supreme Court decision in Warhol v. Goldsmith make clear that the high commerciality of your use argues against fair use, but no court would excuse copying illegally sourced works as fair use.
