From: Ann Shumelda Okerson <[log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]>> Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2024 19:02:23 -0500 "According to judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín, authors behind three separate lawsuits—including Sarah Silverman <https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/07/book-authors-sue-openai-and-meta-over-text-used-to-train-ai/>, Michael Chabon, and Paul Tremblay—have failed to provide evidence supporting any of their claims except for direct copyright infringement." SEE: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/02/judge-sides-with-openai-dismisses-bulk-of-book-authors-copyright-claims/ AND ALSO "The order builds upon findings from other courts, which have mostly dismissed claims from creators suing AI companies. A claim for direct copyright infringement remains in the suit from Silverman and other top authors suing OpenAI." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/sarah-silverman-openai-lawsuit-claims-judge-1235823924/
