Reddit has filed a lawsuit against AI company Anthropic in San Francisco, claiming that Anthropic has accessed its content over 100,000 times since July 2024, despite assurances that they had blocked their bots. Reddit emphasizes the unique value of its user-generated content, which had been instrumental in training AI models, and accuses Anthropic of having two conflicting personas—one that aims to present itself morally, and another that seeks profit without adherence to guidelines. This legal challenge highlights the ongoing tension between content platforms and AI developers regarding content ownership and ethical use.
Ben Lee, Reddit's legal director, emphasizes the unique value of Reddit's content. "Reddit's humanity is uniquely valuable in a world flattened by AI," Lee said.
Reddit characterizes Anthropic as a "late-blooming AI company that presents itself as a white knight" aiming for profit while disregarding ethical boundaries.
