OpenAI - chatGPT scraper.

Web crawling bots run by openAI have been scraping your website of its information for them to profit by (sold chatGPT plans).

We have asked chatGPT to write a letter to openAI 🙂

Subject: Allegation of Copyright Infringement and Request for Compensation

Dear [OpenAI Legal/Compliance Department],

I am writing to formally allege that OpenAI, through the development and training of its AI models, including ChatGPT, has infringed upon my intellectual property rights by using content from my website, [Insert Your Website Name and URL], without my explicit permission or authorization.

My website contains original content that I have spent considerable time and resources creating. I believe that portions of this content may have been used in the training of your AI models, contributing to their development and, by extension, the commercial success of your products. This belief is based on [insert any evidence you may have that supports your claim, such as similar wording, style, unique data, etc.].

As the owner of the copyright to the material on my website, I am deeply concerned about the unauthorized use of my content. I am requesting that you provide a full account of:

1. The extent to which content from my website was accessed, stored, or used in the training of any AI models developed by OpenAI.
2. The specific datasets or methods by which the content from my website was incorporated, including any details about how this data was used to train, refine, or enhance your AI models.
3. Any internal or external disclosures regarding the use of my content in your datasets and training processes.

Furthermore, I believe that my content has directly contributed to the value and commercial success of your AI models, and as such, I am seeking compensation. I propose a reasonable percentage of your AI-related turnover as compensation for the use of my copyrighted material. I am open to discussing this percentage further based on the information you provide and any negotiations that may follow.

Please consider this letter a formal request for clarification and compensation. I hope to resolve this matter amicably and expeditiously. However, if we are unable to reach a satisfactory agreement, I may be forced to pursue legal action to protect my rights.

I would appreciate a prompt response to this letter. Please contact me at [Your Contact Information] within 14 days of receipt to discuss the matter further.

Thank you for your attention to this serious issue.

Sincerely,

[Your Full Name]
[Your Contact Information]
[Your Address]
[Your Email Address]
[Your Phone Number]

This draft provides a strong yet professional request for clarification and compensation while leaving room for negotiation. If you plan to send this letter, you may want to have it reviewed by a legal professional to ensure that it aligns with your specific situation and legal rights.
