Myth: "Public libraries and book stores have to dispose of books all the time so at least if these companies are scanning the books for AI they will be preserved for history."

@futurebird Indeed. As I understand it, they specifically avoid keeping copies to avoid copyright issues.
@cford @futurebird and my sad guess is that they probably dont keep the original scan data around and properly labelled because they just dont care, it probably gets OCRd and _maybe_ the uncorrected text is saved so it can by used for future training runs, but again they dont care about the metadata, or correctness, so it might not be useful as an archive of anything.

@futurebird @xan I don't know, it's kind of anty social behavior.

The real success of "AI" has mostly been in:
* spamming
* bad therapy
* searchSearch has been broken and bad for years. Many people have sounded the alarm. Here is the "solution" and it is worse than the problem. It's a disaster.
@futurebird @raymaccarthy @janbogar Google may be broken, but DDG is (currently) still useful (and their AI overviews can be turned off).
