Summary
WikiHow filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging the AI company scraped over 11,000 of its how-to articles without permission to train ChatGPT. The suit claims infringement of more than 1,200 copyrights and argues that ChatGPT's ability to generate competing how-to content threatens WikiHow's revenue and market position. This is the latest in a wave of copyright cases against AI firms, and it adds legal risk to OpenAI's already complex landscape. The case was filed in the Southern District of New York, with damages unspecified and a request for injunctive relief.
