A lot of these comments are missing a large point which is that, if the claim is true, the books are being pirated and then effectively used for a commercial application.
So the authors are losing money through this process and did not give their permission for their work to be used in a commercial way.
The decision of this case will be wildly important for the development of AI.
If they have access to some library with those books they are ok.
I doubt they just used pirated book to train their AI and than publishing it without having non pirated paper trail, it is not that hard.
But let’s see.
The only a problem here is how have they accessed the books, they don’t share copyrighted material to others. But I don’t think anyone should be held guilty for reading a book, so I hold the same stance for AI.
If you don’t want people to read your book, just don’t publish it.
Do you know what library genesis and z-library are?? They are literally libraries of pirated materials.
And yeah they can read the book, but shouldn’t be able to use its content in a commercial way (e.g. make money) off of its contents without the permission of the writer/copyright holder.
