> Lawyers Joseph Saveri and Matthew Butterick, who are representing the three authors, write on their LLMlitigation website that they’ve heard from “writers, authors, and publishers who are con­cerned about [ChatGPT’s] uncanny abil­ity to gen­er­ate text sim­i­lar to that found in copy­righted tex­tual mate­ri­als, includ­ing thou­sands of books.”

> .> Joseph Saveri and Matthew Butterick, the attorneys representing the authors, in January also sued Stability AI on behalf of visual artists who accused the "parasite" app of glomming off their work. Last year the duo filed a lawsuit against GitHub, alleging its AI-assisted coding tool built on stolen coders' work.

#MatthewButterick of #BeautifulRacket in court against #StabilityAI and #GitHub for #AIcoding along with other #AISalami apps like #ChatGPT

Lawyer, typographer, and Racket fan #MatthewButterick is working with the lawyers who brought you the GitHub Copilot lawsuit to bring you a class action lawsuit over Stable Diffusion https://stablediffusionlitigation.com/

> #Microsoft doesn’t claim that any of the code Copilot produces is correct. That’s still your problem. Thus, Copilot essen­tially tasks you with correcting a 12-year-old’s home­work, over and over... per-line usage surely produces fewer errors and prob­ably no license viola­tions.. But that’s not at all how #Copilot is marketed.. low-cost toys whose main purpose is devel­oper #surveil­lance rather than #CodeSynthesis.
