OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.
