      I fucking hate AI but I can’t help thinking he’s just panicking that it’s going to finish The Winds of Winter before him and doesn’t want to feel pressure to beat it to the punch

      ChatGPT came up with nothing. It’s an aggregate of all the human knowledge put into it, it made nothing.

      Would this set the legal precedent to sue anyone who writes a fan-made story? I know he’s not doing that, but am curious if this will extend copyright protections to where people could sue for fan writing, art, etc.

      TLDR for anyone paywalled:

      A federal judge in Manhattan let authors’ copyright claims against OpenAI and Microsoft move forward, pointing to a ChatGPT response that reads a lot like a GRRM sequel outline. The court said a jury could find those outputs “substantially similar,” so the output-infringement claims stay in. The judge did not decide whether training on books is fair use yet.

      So, for context, In a separate case, a California judge said training on lawfully obtained books can be fair use, but storing pirated book “corpora” is not, which is what pushed Anthropic into a roughly $1.5B settlement. So the heat right now is on outputs and any tainted data sources. Expect discovery and pressure to settle.

      If you want odds? I mean, courtroom win for the authors is about 20%; a settlement, authors would call a win about 60%, but thats just a guess, obviously.

      They have two options:

      1. Pay out and set the precedent that they are responsible for the things their AI does.

      2. Fight the case and argue that their own marketing of the product is bullshit that aggregates stolen work.

      Not the point, but also wanted to mention that ChatGPT’s sequel ideas were really fucking stupid.
