It's presumably this: www.beaverapp.ai
I personally don't think libraries can (or should) realistically stay out of that space and I'd much rather see it filled by tools developed by faculty with a long open source track record than by big publishers.

Ai2 Asta is, to my knowledge, the only AI search tool out there that currently displays a tag to say that a fact has been pulled from LLM memory. A feature I'd like to see in more tools, as there is valuable feedback to the user in there, i. e. that the query should be re-formulated or reconsidered

In the AI search era there seems to be such a thing as an index being too curated: see WoS expansion through Research Commons. I have a feeling this might be in response to startup tools using OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar & co. having better search outcomes.

The Internet of the 21st century was a mistake. We're going back to the internet of 1995. You cannot use the internet and talk on the phone at the same time. Amazon is a website that sells books. There is no social media. There are message boards, chatrooms, and everyone gets one (1) Geocities page

I'm pretty sure this is happening with academic AI-assisted search as well. GlobalLogic and Elsevier have worked together in the past.

Usual public forum caveat: yes, you as a library patron should absolutely keep borrowing and reading eBooks and audiobooks if those are the formats that work best for you. You aren't the problem!
