Douglas Preston：ChatGPT能够访问并详细复述其作品中的情节、人物和细节，这只有在阅读过他的书的情况下才能做到。他认为OpenAI未经授权使用了他的作品训练ChatGPT，这构成了版权侵权。他详细描述了ChatGPT对其作品的了解程度，并指出这超出了公开信息所能提供的范围。他强调了OpenAI未经许可使用其作品的事实，并质疑这种行为的合法性。主持人：大型科技公司经常在未经许可的情况下使用大量数据，OpenAI使用受版权保护的材料训练其AI的行为就是其中一个例子，其行为的合法性、好坏有待商榷。他们讨论了OpenAI使用受版权保护的材料训练ChatGPT的争议，并介绍了其他类似案例，例如Google Books案和Spotify案。他们分析了OpenAI可能面临的法律风险和经济损失，并探讨了可能的解决方案。 Mary Rosenberger：OpenAI拒绝公开其训练数据，但通过诱导ChatGPT回答问题，可以间接证明其使用了受版权保护的材料。她认为OpenAI的行为会对创作者的市场造成损害，这与合理使用的标准相悖。她详细解释了原告方收集证据的策略，以及他们如何通过诱导ChatGPT来间接证明OpenAI使用了受版权保护的材料。她还强调了OpenAI的行为对创作者市场造成的损害，并指出这将是法官在判断合理使用时需要考虑的重要因素。 ZN：Spotify案显示，大型科技公司面临的版权侵权诉讼可能以和解告终，OpenAI也可能采取类似的策略。他分析了Spotify案中双方达成的和解协议，并指出这为OpenAI提供了可能的解决方案。他详细解释了Spotify案中双方达成的和解协议，以及这种模式如何适用于OpenAI的案件。他强调了和解协议的优势，例如避免漫长的诉讼过程和巨额赔偿。

Shownotes Transcript

When best-selling thriller writer Douglas Preston began playing around with OpenAI's new chatbot, ChatGPT, he was, at first, impressed. But then he realized how much in-depth knowledge GPT had of the books he had written. When prompted, it supplied detailed plot summaries and descriptions of even minor characters. He was convinced it could only pull that off if it had read his books.Large language models, the kind of artificial intelligence underlying programs like ChatGPT, do not come into the world fully formed. They first have to be trained on incredibly large amounts of text. Douglas Preston, and 16 other authors, including George R.R. Martin, Jodi Piccoult, and Jonathan Franzen, were convinced that their novels had been used to train GPT without their permission. So, in September, they sued OpenAI for copyright infringement.This sort of thing seems to be happening a lot lately–one giant tech company or another "moves fast and breaks things," exploring the edges of what might or might not be allowed without first asking permission. On today's show, we try to make sense of what OpenAI allegedly did by training its AI on massive amounts of copyrighted material. Was that good? Was it bad? Was it legal? *Help support Planet Money and get bonus episodes by subscribing to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts) or at plus.npr.org/planetmoney).*Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
