    That’s exactly what it is. But it’s not replicating the book to sell that same book to generate profit the author of the book won’t get.

    It’s using the information in the book to generate its own data.

    Are you aware of how llms work?

      Ok, so if the LLM was trained by reading the books, then the LLM creators should have to buy a copy of the books, right?

      Because right now the creators are pirating the books to feed into the machine.
