Plaintiffs tried to get this study in at the last minute by laundering it through another expert witness, and when that witness was asked whether Sussman had funded the study, he said he didn’t think so. The Sussman lawyer defending the deposition didn’t correct him.

As OpenAI’s brief observes, at the same time that the class action attorneys were trying to get the study into court, the authors of the study were getting into the press. Writers for the NYTimes, the Atlantic, and other outlets reported out the study, w/o the funding context.

If you reported on that study about the alleged market effect of AI use on self-published Amazon books, you may want to update your story. @WillOremus @sashrogel @xanalter
