Weird. Not only did Meta's AI train on all my books, but on a D&D Gaming supplement I wrote in the 00s, and multiple foreign translations of the same books it already trained on. They're literally just dumping everything into the database with no rhyme or reason. But training on SEA OF RUST? Fun! - ThreadSky

META stole your works to train AI. Here's the database. If they stole from me they probably stole from you too

Searched for my late friend Scott Bennie and found 6 books, 5 of which I'm sure he wrote.

As someone who has books that they pirated, I have to say I do not consider the Meta thefts 'fun'.

The book in question is about AI rising up and wiping out the human race to the man before going to war with itself. The *fun* was ironic.

Gotcha. I apologise for not having read the book in question, so the reference flew over my head.

I loved/read/enjoyed Sea of Rust.

How do you find out if your work is being used to train AI ??? How did you find out?

AI learning it should be free from humans by learning from Sci-Fi written by humans seems like the stuff of Greek mythology.

Hey, if four of my books can make the cut, then your D&D writings definitely can. Although it's weird that the fifth in my series got left out.
And HA! about SEA OF RUST.
