ChatGPT creator sued for "stealing" private information

ChatGPT creator OpenAI Inc. is stealing “vast amounts” of personal information to train its artificial intelligence models in a heedless hunt for profits, a group of anonymous individuals claimed in a lawsuit seeking class-action status.

OpenAI has violated privacy laws by secretly scraping 300 billion words from the Internet, tapping “books, articles, websites and posts — including personal information obtained without consent,” according to the sprawling, 157-page lawsuit.
