"The author of "Game of Thrones" is planning to file a lawsuit against ChatGPT, accusing it of "systematic theft.""

    "Seventeen authors, including George R.R. Martin, are planning to sue ChatGPT developer OpenAI, alleging "systematic theft." They have filed a lawsuit in the federal court of Manhattan, New York, against the AI generative company."

    "The Authors Guild has accused Microsoft-backed OpenAI of engaging in "systemic theft on a mass scale." They claim that OpenAI used their copyrighted content without permission to train its AI models, including ChatGPT. The lawsuit goes on to allege that the AI program generated an unauthorized and detailed outline for a Game of Thrones prequel called "A Dawn of Direwolves" and even incorporated characters from George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series."

    "The CEO of the Authors Guild, Mary Rasenberger, emphasized the importance of halting the alleged theft of copyrighted content by stating that failing to do so could jeopardize the rich literary culture that fuels numerous creative industries in the US. She argued that great books are typically crafted by authors who dedicate their careers and lives to perfecting their skills, and to preserve literature, authors should retain control over how their works are used by generative AI."

    "OpenAI's spokesperson denied the allegations and affirmed the company's respect for the rights of writers and authors. They expressed optimism about finding mutually beneficial ways to collaborate and facilitate the use of new technology within a content-rich ecosystem. CEO Sam Altman emphasized that OpenAI's intention is not to replace creators."
