If something is a legal liability to have, non-use is probably 2 seconds after you finish using it (in their case, finishing training, just keeping the weights)

- fancyfredbot 2y agoExactly. The reason that they stopped using the dataset and the reason they deleted it are likely the same - legal liability. Obviously not in their interests to state that but when this is the best alternative explanation they can offer they might as well have. Personally I support the use of these books for training AI but I think this needs to be decided in court and/or with legislation, not hidden under the carpet.

I won't actually buy it from you, just grab the text, train a model, and get the model to answer all questions I have. But the book would be super helpful please. Oh I'm also going to sell a service on this model too...because I like money. I get sarcasm isn't exactly a great form of debate, but it felt suitable here. I ABSOLUTELY understand why people don't want AI training on their books.
- fancyfredbot 2y agoThanks, that's a very interesting perspective which I hadn't previously considered.
