In this case they are suing based on current copyright infringement by OpenAI, with the justification of predicable outcomes. Like how you can sue someone who is violating zoning ordinances and using predictable negative outcomes based on similar cases to justify the urgency of making them stop now instead of just trying to get money back when things get even worse.
