Thank you. This has affected millions of writers around the world. It makes it hard to carry on writing if people are just going to steal years of hard work, and writers are paid so poorly to begin with.

Just found out Meta stole my book to train AI and I’m so depressed I can’t read or write.

Classic Hollywood “same but different” + dragons. It’s a winner.

Wait… what?

Style points.

Ok, but hear me out…. What if we make it a kid’s fairytale book like “Humpty Dumpty” only “Trumpty Dumpty”? A dark cautionary tale / pop-up book, with jump scares. 🤡 Kiddies would love it.

The word “introspective” did give me pause.

On another note, after reading this thread I now want to open a bookstore featuring a collection of rejected books. In my horror section, I’d have the scrotum book next to the pop-up Trumpty Dumpty book. Please make this happen. 🪄

I wonder if this might explain “covfefe”?

I mean, it has legs. Each month the landlord changes the escape theme: Sherlock, zombie apocalypse, French resistance, alien attack….

Capitalism had a lot to answer for.

Not so much a book, but perhaps a series of Andy Warhol style paintings?

I don’t have a problem with this one. It’s uplifting.

I find this thread strangely meditative and somewhat therapeutic.
