Publishers and authors were outraged when Google scanned millions of books for search purposes without permission. Many publishers sued Google and the cases went on for several years. The scanned books remain online and Google won some of the most important cases. The latest tech raid on published content seems much more insidious. Meta used the full text of many published books to ‘train’ its own LLM (Large Language Model), and other AI startups have been engaged in similar activities. Author reactions have been overwhelmingly negative.
