Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Not a joke: Comedian and author Sarah Silverman is one of the lead plaintiffs in a pair of lawsuits against Meta and OpenAI accusing the tech companies of illegally using copyrighted works to train their artificial-intelligence systems. The books cited in the lawsuits include Silverman’s 2010 bestselling memoir “The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption and Pee.” The federal lawsuits, filed Friday, July 7, allege that OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Meta’s LLaMA both ingested text from “The Bedwetter” and other works to train their large language models (LLMs) — without the consent of (or compensation to) authors such as Silverman.
Reps for Meta and OpenAI did not respond to Variety‘s requests for comment.
Silverman is one of three authors named as plaintiffs, alongside novelist Christopher Golden (whose books include “Ararat”) and Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim supernatural noir series. The suits — filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division — seek class-action status and unspecified monetary damages. The lawyers representing the three authors, Joseph Saveri and Matthew Butterick, last month filed a similar lawsuit against OpenAI on behalf of authors Paul Tremblay and Mona Awad. OpenAI introduced ChatGPT in November 2022. San Francisco-based OpenAI is a private research lab that develops AI technologies, founded in 2015 as a nonprofit organization by Elon Musk (who is no longer on the board of OpenAI) and CEO Sam Altman. While OpenAI has not specified what is included in its datasets for ChatGPT, the lawsuit against the company alleged, the only “internet-based books corpora” that have ever included the volume of material
