Another day, another lawsuit over how AI lands training sets
Anthropic was sued on Monday by three authors who claim the machine-learning lab unlawfully used their copyrighted work to train its Claude AI model., filed in California, says."Rather than obtaining permission and paying a fair price for the creations it exploits, Anthropic pirated them."
That automated generation of prose is only possible by training Claude on people's writing, for which they've not received a penny in compensation, it's argued."For example, in May 2023, it was reported that a man named Tim Boucher had 'written' 97 books using Anthropic’s Claude in less than year, and sold them at prices from $1.99 to $5.99. Each book took a mere 'six to eight hours' to 'write' from beginning to end.
Two cases filed in 2023 and one filed in 2024 involving authors – Authors Guild v. OpenAI Inc. , Alter et al v. OpenAI Inc. et al , and Basbanes v. Microsoft Corporation – have been consolidated into a single case, Alter et al v. OpenAI .
