it is that they didn’t pay for the books they read, like people are supposed to do legally.

If I can read a book from a library, why shouldn't OpenAI or anybody else?

...but yes from what I've heard they (or whoever, don't remember) actually trained on libgen. OpenAI can be scummy without the general process of feeding AI books you only have read access to being scummy.

Meta is defending because they trained on books3 which contained all of Bibliotik. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pile_(dataset)

This is not like reading a book from a library...unless you want to force the LLM to only train one book per day and keep no copies after that day.

They don't keep copies and learning speed? Why one day? Does it count if I skim through a book?
