Okay, so I could ask the AI model, "Give me the entire, unaltered text of $TITLE_OF_BOOK," and it would do it? It wouldn't make up some random crap that wasn't actually the original text?
Yeah, I don't buy that for a moment.
The *actual content* of the book has been destroyed. It's a tragedy.

@kagan@wandering.shop @overholt@glammr.us I like your idea. Now try it using a book you know well. Might be 'interesting' to the IP lawyers arguing against the AI rip-off.

@kagan@wandering.shop @overholt@glammr.us Also, when I look at a book there is *actual content* but that is only part of, and different than, my *actual experience* of looking at a book.
