🌟 About This Video 🌟
Encyclopedia Britannica and Merriam-Webster sued OpenAI in Manhattan federal court, alleging unauthorized copying of their reference content to train ChatGPT and other large language models. The complaint cites nearly 100,000 Britannica articles and claims a retrieval-augmented generation system pulls their material in real time.

Plaintiffs say ChatGPT responses reproduce or closely paraphrase encyclopedia and dictionary entries, substituting for visits that support subscription and advertising revenue. Trademark claims allege invented content presented under Britannica’s name and incomplete reproductions implying endorsement.

They seek damages and injunctive relief; OpenAI disputes the case, saying its models rely on publicly available data and fair use. The suit joins broader publisher litigation, alongside a separate Britannica case against Perplexity AI. #openai #lawsuit #copyright #britannica
