Martin and other popular authors said OpenAI stole their copyrighted work.

    That’s a terrible analogy.

    Reading a book designed to instruct you how to do tasks is not the same thing as training generative AI with novels, say, to write a novel for you.

    The user of the AI benefits from the work and talent of the authors with little effort of their own.

      So how about someone who loves to read books wants to become a writer, and uses the plot twists, characters, environments, writing style of books they already read.

      Does that fall under copyright?

        Depends on how close it is… But at least they are doing the effort of writing vs merely coming up with prompts for the AI.
