“Folha de S.Paulo filed a lawsuit against OpenAI on Wednesday [Aug. 20], demanding that the owner of the ChatGPT artificial intelligence platform stop collecting and using the newspaper’s content without authorization or payment.
The suit accuses OpenAI of unfair competition and copyright infringement, stating that ‘the defendant develops and improves its AI tool [...] based on third-party content [...] without authorization and without paying any compensation.’ In addition, in response to user prompts, it reproduces full articles on the same day they are published, which ‘illegitimately diverts readers,’ according to the court filing.”
