Reddit sues Anthropic over AI content scraping
Briefly

Reddit has initiated a lawsuit against Anthropic, alleging that the company illegally scraped user-generated content from its platform. The complaint highlights the violation of Reddit's User Agreement and indicates unfair competition, as Anthropic has not pursued licensing agreements unlike its counterparts in the AI industry. Reddit emphasizes that Anthropic's claims of prioritizing honesty and trust are merely marketing tactics, accusing it of using user data without consent. The lawsuit raises concerns about the ethical implications of data harvesting practices among AI companies.
While other AI giants have entered into licensing agreements and respect users' choice, Anthropic has not.
The legal filing argues that Anthropic has intentionally trained its models on the personal data of Reddit users without requesting consent.
Anthropic is a late-blooming artificial intelligence ('AI') company that bills itself as the white knight of the AI industry. It is anything but.
The Reddit lawsuit claims the AI biz hasn't done so, though it does not cite examples of alleged non-compliance.
