    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.
