That is literally the point of this comment thread, go back and reread it.

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.

And how is an LLM trained to “draw inspiration” from an author without reading their books?

Who’s watching marvel movies for free, legally? Who’s listening to RHCP’s entire discography for free, legally?

Not the people training AI, they’ve been caught pirating their data multiple times.
