| I would be extremely surprised if piracy accounts for any serious dent in the sales of books. |

| ▲ | solid_fuel an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | The implication is that the self-help books were scraped from Anna's Archive to train the LLMs, thus the content in the books has been integrated into the LLM and may be regurgitated on command. With the content then being available straight from an LLM, there's no need to buy the books. | |
