The plaintiffs claim ChatGPT violates copyright law by producing a “derivative” version of copyrighted work when prompted to summarize the source.
That’s an interesting angle. All these lawsuits are good for shaking the dirt around these things. They should be tested in the real world before they become lost in the background of every day life.
We do already have a defense against these programs to stop them from scraping a site. I asked chatgpt once how it gets around captchas on websites, and it told it if there is one then it just doesn’t go any further.
If that’s actually true or not is another question though.
