The plaintiff is represented by one of the largest law firms in the world, Sidley Austin. Which is to say: they have legal firepower.

Nippon is a company that can afford that.

I'm a bit sus that they can bring OpenAI into this given this is just one woman using ChatGPT to generate terrible legal submissions. The ToS will be important here, but one can liken this to trying to bring the car manufacturer into a lawsuit over a car crash.

As far as I'm aware, OpenAI is not selling any legal products.

The largest lawfirms are happy to take on cases like this even if they don’t expect a win. The number of billable hours it will generate for them is very high.
Who will win?

An army of lawyers, or one dice-rolly boi?
