Sarah Silverman Sues ChatGPT Creator for Copyright Infringement
“If a user prompts ChatGPT to summarize a copyrighted book, it will do so,” the suit claims.

Would she sue students who do book summaries for classes/lectures?
You don't feel like there's a difference between students and for-profit companies?
Mhm true the difference would be that there is money to get by sueing a for-profit company. Copyright doesn't care about that.
Well, sure, that's a cynical but also accurate description of the difference. The other, on a plaintiff level, is that they might be happy to turn a blind eye to student activity in the interests of 'helping' society in that way – whereas a for-profit company can and should be paying for anything they're directly profiting from.
Obviously, under law, a student should also have to pay. I'm merely saying that an IP owner might choose to let it slide. So, y'know, that's a difference too. If a more idealistic one. :)
