Picture this: an arena filled with authors wielding their literary swords, ready to take on the giant that is Microsoft. In a dramatic twist worthy of a blockbuster film, several writers have thrown the proverbial book at Microsoft, claiming the tech titan pilfered a stash of nearly 200,000 books to train its Megatron AI model. Yes, you read that right—200,000! That’s not just a casual browsing session in the library; that’s a heist worthy of a crime novel!
As if that weren’t enough, similar complaints have been flattened by judges like pesky flies buzzing around a BBQ at the Meta and Anthropic BBQ parties. Maybe the third time is the charm for these brave wordsmiths. It’s like an epic game of legal whack-a-mole—except in this case, the moles are AI training datasets, and the mallets are copyright laws.
Will Microsoft emerge victorious, or will it have to face the wrath of authors who are armed with nothing but their quills (and some angry tweets)? Stay tuned, folks, because this saga is heating up faster than your coffee after a long writing session.
