Brave Software, Inc. | Better Business Bureau® Profile

Hello. I just learned that Brave is using ChatGPT, a plagiarist tool, as part of its services. The tool being used was made by OpenAI, a company that is violating intellectual property rights on a nationwide (and global) scale. OpenAI (openai.com) provides software named “ChatGTP,” which is software that generates text as though a human wrote the text. It was built with data from the Common Crawl dataset, a conglomerate of stolen copyrighted articles, internet posts, web pages, and books scraped from 60 million domains over a period of 12 years. TechCrunch reports this data includes copyrighted material from **** The New *********** Reddit, the full text of online books, and more. So anyone who ever published anything on the Internet anywhere, therefore, has had pieces of their content illegally collected, distributed, and sold to people using GTP-based writing tools. The ************* **************** recently ruled that non-human expression is ineligible for copyright protection. So for those who wish to simply copy and paste the text with this GPT thing, this new ruling means everything they generate with GPT becomes public domain material. The company is basically taking copyrighted material and putting it into the public domain.OpenAI additionally serves a global audience. That means the company is selling ******** intellectual property and citizen PII to foreigners and foreign governments.I would appreciate it if you would intervene the use of this software in your institution, as it infringes on my intellectual property rights as a writer.Thank you for reading.
