Two authors have filed suit against OpenAI for (allegedly) wrongly using their novels as training data, deciding to do so after noticing that ChatGPT could summarize their novels in great detail. This lawsuit notably involves copyright protection and not some other areas of intellectual property law that are already being litigated. I do cover some of the details of this lawsuit, what merits it might or might not have, and how these issues intersect with the realities of trying to train a large language model. However, as someone who has posted a few videos about OpenAI's legal adventures the better takeaway might be that the law around important practices here is unsettled, some of the best and most accessible LLMs are presently more than a little sketchy legally, and this is something to watch and manage if you want to exploit these tools in your business.
