I wish his family the best in their efforts to corroborate the police's claims of "no foul play."

Suchir's blog post specifies that the problem may not be limited to OpenAI, so long as generative content is exposed to the market.
"None of the four factors seem to weigh in favor of ChatGPT being a fair use of its training data. That being said, none of the arguments here are fundamentally specific to ChatGPT either, and similar arguments could be made for many generative AI products in a wide variety of domains."
