I've just discovered that Meta illegally used one of my books ("I Can't Believe It's Not Buddha") to train its AI. 

They are paraphrasing (uncredited) the contents of my book to make money.

I am not okay with this.

Sarah Silverman and others have started lawsuits. I hope some of the less rich among us can team up and do likewise.

 @bd280af2 @d6e4c7e0 artists and writers need to team up and bring the mother of all class action lawsuits. A result of anything less than paid residuals for every single work sampled to every single creator whose work has been stolen would be optimal.
