ChatGPT is using OpenStreetMap Data without visible attribution
I know for certain that the ChatGPT web interface is using OSM data because I've mapped out all the forests in Goffstown, NH, making that area of the map (admittedly kinda awkwardly) stand out like a sore thumb against the rest of the area.
I asked ChatGPT a question about making an Overpass Turbo API query for libraries which offered Libby access (knowing that it's probably a stretch of a question anyways), but it answered in a map format. Excitedly, I went to see if I could tell who the map provider was, and behold, it's our map, unfortunately without proper attribution.
I've reported it as a bug on ChatGPT. I'm personally glad that our data is being put to good use, but it's gotta be done right. If they use (and attribute) our data, then it's both high-quality data for them and free advertising for us. I don't mean to cause outrage -- I just wanted to make sure it was a known issue in the community so that it'll be fixed sooner. I'll update if it's been fixed.
UPDATE 8/14: I went in with uBlock Origin, and yes, the attribution is technically there in the html, but it's behind the blur at the bottom, behind an (i) symbol (apparently MapBox's fault booo), and doesn't even link to OpenStreetMap's copyright page, only /about.
UPDATE 8/14: I have now emailed attribution (at) mapbox (dot) com, and will update if there's a response. I didn't tell them I started a reddit thread about it yet, but if I need to put pressure on them, I'll mention it in a follow-up email. I did include a version of @ValdemarAloeus's comment tho because that was funny as hell XD
