OpenAI's models were trained on ebooks from a private ebook torrent tracker leeched en-mass during a free leech event by people who hated private torrent trackers and wanted to destroy their "economy."
The books were all in epub format, converted, cleaned to plain text, and hosted on a public data hoarder site.
