Answer: Yes. The problem is that it is not clear which sources Chat GPT uses to write its textscreate content. According to the Copyright Act, the adoption of parts of other people's works or their transformation is generally not permitted without the consent of the author. However, it is entirely possible that texts content from Chat GPT represent only minimally modified versions of another text content or that essential elements of the original text content have even been adopted identically. Anyone who reproduces or publishes such a text or images is committing a copyright infringement - even if they do so without malicious intent. In such a case, the author of the original can assert claims for injunctive relief, damages and removal. For example, if you ask Chat GPT to write an advertising text using the setting of the Lord of the Ring novels, the author Tolkin's copyrights are likely to be violated. However, copyright infringements are rare for other texts, as Chat GPT uses its “own” formulations and these are then not protected.
