Ziff Davis and IGN sue OpenAI for copyright infringement

In one of the more common disputes of modern AI, Ziff Davis, IGN Entertainment and Everyday Health Media have sued Open AI for copyright infringement. Ziff Davis alleged, “OpenAI has intentionally and relentlessly reproduced exact copies and created derivatives of Ziff Davis works without Ziff Davis’ authorization. The lawsuit said OpenAI has knowingly copied the text of Ziff Davis’ web sites without authorization and violated Ziff Davis’ written demands to stop. The lawsuit OpenAI falsely attributes output to Ziff Davis that is not Ziff Davis content. Ziff Davis also alleges that OpenAI trained its AI models on its work even though Ziff Davis told web crawlers not to scrape its data using a robots.txt file.
