Yes. Oodles of lawsuits claiming as such https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-lawsuit-copyrighted-d....
But yes the crux of it is financial and not algorithmic. Google ALSO uses AI. If google took sentences from 2 different web pages and stitched them together to form a paragraph, is that AI or search? [see google BERT]. What if they stitched together 3000 word-parts? What if they took sentences from 15 web pages, ranked them, and that's your view? See, it's all the same thing. openAI stitches together word-parts, by comparison.
Now when I say it's financial, when said information is presented, google gladly gives a hit to the site +/- add revenue if present. openAI does not do this. If openAI figured out how to do this then we'd be cooking with some gas.
