Clearly something has to be done to protect intellectual property. Governments need to get on to legislation to prevent this abuse of intellectual property rights. Not to mention the AI books are garbage and a waste of your money.
At present the AI companies are buying up out of print books, scanning them and shredding the hard copies. We will see an editing of books and removing information in the process yet who is going to stop this destruction of knowledge? I don’t see the governments stopping this carnage of knowledge from science to history and even fiction books altered. The loss of knowledge is a serious issue as it is we have lost ancient knowledge that could inform us of many things from the past. Future generations will lose our knowledge if it isn’t properly preserved and that should be in legislation for humanities benefit.
