"The lawsuit alleges that Meta illegally used millions of copyrighted works, accessed through pirated copies on dark corners of the web, to train the AI program Llama, removing copyright notices in the process."
"The publishers and Turow argue that Meta's AI program represents an obvious threat to the livelihoods of writers everywhere, as it can produce facsimiles that mirror a writer's style and content."
"The suit declares that 'these AI-generated books are already flooding the world's largest book marketplace, Amazon, in volumes that materially displace human-authored works.'"
Major book publishers, including Hachette and Macmillan, have filed a class-action lawsuit against Meta and Mark Zuckerberg for copyright infringement. They allege that Meta illegally used millions of copyrighted works to train its AI program Llama, accessing pirated copies and removing copyright notices. The lawsuit claims that this AI poses a significant threat to writers' livelihoods by producing works that mimic their style. High-profile authors, including Scott Turow, support the lawsuit, arguing that AI-generated books are displacing human-authored works in the market.
