Reddit suits Antarubor for collecting his data without permission

It was a response litigate Against Anthropor, she claims that the artificial intelligence company behind Chatbot uses its data for years without permission. The lawsuit comes after Reedit has increasingly taken a similar position against the scraps and companies that use its data to train artificial intelligence models.

In their file, Reddit claims that the Antarbur was training on Claude Chatbot on Reddit data early in December 2021. The lawsuit also includes a screenshot that seems to admit that it has been trained in Reddit data. In a statement to Engadget, a Reddit spokesman said the lawsuit was “the final option for the company to force the anthropologist to stop its illegal practices” after repeated warnings.

The spokesman said: “We believe in the open internet – Anthropor does not give the right to illegally scoring the Reddit content, using billions of dollars in profit, and ignoring the rights and privacy of our users,” the spokesman said. “In a clear violation of the conditions of Reddit and despite the repeated requests to stop, Antarubor has been arrested in accessing Reddit content or trying to access Reddit content via mechanical robots at least 100,000 times. This is not a misunderstanding, it is a continuous effort to extract value from Reddit while ignoring legal and moral limits.”

The vast Reddit archive of online discussions has become a special valuable commodity for the company, as the IQ companies ranged from new models. The company has concluded profitable licensing deals with companies such as Google and Openai To access its data. Former CEO of Reddit Steve Hoffman Call Human (along with other artificial intelligence companies) to ignore Redait.

In a lawsuit, Redait says, “Anthropor refused to engage” in discussions about the license. “Unlike its competitors, Antarubor refused to agree to respect the basic privacy rights of Reddit users, including removing deleted publications from their systems,” she says. “This issue revolves around two sides of the anthropologist: the general face that tries to weaken itself in consumer awareness of the allegations of righteousness and respect for borders and law, and the special face that ignores any rules that interfere with its attempts to increase its pockets.”

In a statement, a spokesman for the Anthropor said, “We disagree with the demands of Redit and we will bury ourselves strongly.”
