The lawsuit alleges OpenAI crawled the web to amass huge amounts of data without people’s permission.
That’s like saying you didn’t lock your front door so whoever robs you is innocent.
I think it’s a little closer to being mad that the Google street car drove by and snapped a picture of the front of your house, tbh.
Except pii and spi are protected under law, just like your possessions.
But does leaving your front door open allow one to legally take a picture of the inside from across the street? I’d say scraping is more akin to that than it is theft. Nothing is removed in scraping, just copied
Bad analogy. This is like leaving your couch out on the sidewalk, then complaining when someone takes a picture of it.
It’s more like leaving an important letter in the open for everyone to read. It’s certainly your fault for leaving it that open.
Yeah, but what were all these people whose data was scraped wearing?
