Reddit complained to the data on the platform because of its repeated and unauthorized access. In recent years, we have seen many challenges among content producers and artificial intelligence developers over the use of data to teach language models, and the new Reddit and Anthropic case is the latest.
According to Verj, Reddit on Wednesday filed a lawsuit to San Francisco’s Supreme Court, the company, Claude’s popular chat developer, accusing unauthorized access to its content. Reddit claims that anthropic bots have been accessible to the Reddit platform more than 100,000 times since July 2024, while Anthropic had previously announced in May 2024 that it had blocked their bots to Reddit.
Reddit complaint of anthropic
In the context of the complaint, Reddit described an anthropic tone as a company that “flourishing itself in the field of artificial intelligence and making itself a white knight in the industry.” Redit believes that the anthropic has “two faces”: a public figure claiming to adhere to ethics and laws and a private face that ignores any regulations for its financial interests. Amazon’s anthropic company has not yet responded to the complaint.
In a statement, Ben Lee, a senior legal manager, estimated the value of anthropic “commercial exploitation” of Reddie’s content to billions of dollars. He emphasized:
“In a world that is affected by artificial intelligence, the originality and humanity content of the trace is unmatched. People have been looking for real human conversations with human beings more than ever, and the hosts have been hosted by rich and human debates for nearly two decades. “These conversations are unique and play a vital role in teaching language models such as Claude.”
This is not the first time that anthropic has faced allegations of copyright violations. In August last year, three writers filed a group complaint in the Federal Court of California, accusing the company of “building a multi -billion dollar business by stealing hundreds of thousands of copyright books”. Also in October 2023, Universal Music Company also filed a complaint in the Federal Court of Tennessee for “systematic and extensive copyright violations.”
