10,000 authors, including Kazuo Ishiguro, Philippa Gregory and Richard Osman, have published an “empty” book titled Don’t Steal This Book to protest the unauthorized use of their work by AI companies.
The protest coincides with an upcoming UK government assessment on copyright law changes. Authors and the campaign organizer, Ed Newton-Rex, argue that generative AI is built on “stolen work” that threatens creative livelihoods. While the government considers proposals – ranging from maintaining current laws to allowing AI firms to use copyrighted material unless creators opt out – publishers are also launching a collective licensing scheme to manage legal access to their content.

Good, these mass copyright infringement is a large scale Epstein scale crime. When one person steals he goes to jail, when Meta, Tesla, and Nvidia do this nothing happens. Absolutely atrocious. Also, who the f wants to read an AI generated book???

They should put hidden prompth in the text throughout the book to baffle and confuse AI to produce gibberish.
