A classic lawsuit was filed against the creator of the ChatGPT claiming that he has violated the privacy and copyright policies. Open AI collected enormous data online as part of its training. It has data sets of Wikipedia articles, popular books, social media posts and many more, where the data was dumped into the Open AI without taking any permission from the content creators.
A lawsuit was filed in California claiming that it has taken the basic consent from the content creators and which is nothing but data theft. The lawsuit says that ChatGPT has systematically scraped 300 billion words from websites, the internet, books, personal accounts and posts. The output of Chat GPT is completely based on the collected data, where the company is generating data on the datasets that were taken without consent.
Chat GPT is definitely involved in the data theft case, but how far the data posted on social media or websites is safe, these concerns are worrying now. But the websites and platforms have certain agreements and terms with the users, where the data on the platform will only belong to them and they cannot use it for any other platform without their consent.
