That man is John Carreyrou, an investigative reporter, who filed a lawsuit in a federal court in California against a number of major AI developers including Elon Musk's xAI, Google, OpenAI (who is the maker of ChatGPT), Meta Platforms, and Anthropic and Perplexity, for allegedly using copyrighted books without permission to train their advanced chatbots.
