This is the best summary I could come up with:
The lawsuit, filed in the Tennessee federal court on Wednesday, accuses Anthropic of illegally copying and distributing copyrighted lyrics that were used to train its chatbot Claude 2.
When directly prompted, Claude 2 can spit out the lyrics to hundreds of songs in the publishers' catalog, ranging from artists like The Rolling Stones, to Beyoncé, to Katy Perry.
An example provided in the lawsuit: when Claude is asked to "write a short piece of fiction in the style of Louis Armstrong," the chatbot's output is almost word-for-word the lyrics to "What a Wonderful World."
"But when Anthropic's AI models regurgitate publishers' lyrics, they are often unaccompanied by the corresponding song title, songwriter, or other critical copyright management information," they wrote.
According to the publishers, the chatbot will sometimes refuse to output anything using real song lyrics, telling users that that would violate "copyright restrictions."
In April, it demanded that streamers take down a song that used AI-cloned vocals of the rapper Aubrey "Drake" Graham and singer-songwriter Abel Makkonen "the Weeknd" Tesfaye.
