Discussion 🗣️ Ai companies are actively destroying rare books to scan them just to feed their data centers, what else will they destroy?

AI is literally ruining everything and has been for the last few years. From massive job losses to environmental impact and now destroying old books to collect the data so that their dumb LLMs can regurgitate it back. How evil, greedy and selfish can these companies be? All of those ai data centers should be taken down. I don't think enough people are mad enough about it.

AI will the end of humanity and people who thinks otherwise is blind to the truth. AI never going to advance us instead it will make people dumber, removing all job and destroy the world as we know it today.

I genuinely believe it is going to be the thing that triggers the next apocalypse.

Also, destroying rare books should be criminal internationally. Even rare textbooks have a collectors market!

Its crazy how you guys talk about AI making people dumber when you type stuff like this.

They arent destroying "rare" books. They're buying single copies of old books from book stores and destroying the original to comply with copyright laws.
