I, for one, am not complaining about my books being in in large language model training sets. I write to enter ideas into public discourse. I prefer informed over ignorant AI. I believe it is fair use for anyone to read & use books for transformative work. In fact, I'd probably feel snubbed if my books were not there. I'm happy when they are in libraries. I'm fine that they're here. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2023/09/books3-database-generative-ai-training-copyright-infringement/675363/ https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/138/379/173/587/240/original/c51836b677c1687c.png
