You can digitize the books you own. You do not need a license for that. And of course you could put that digital format into a database. As databases are explicit exceptions from copyright law. If you want to go to the extreme: delete first copy. Then you have only in the database. However: AIs/LLMs are not based on data bases. But on neural networks. The original data gets lost when "learned".

The LLM is not repeating the same book. The owner of the LLM has the exact same rights to do with what his LLM is reading, as you have to do with what ever YOU are reading.

As long as it is not a verbatim recitation, it is completely okay.

According to story telling theory: there are only roughly 15 different story types anyway.

When a Christian Makes Contact with an Atheist

Reply in thread

Neither atheism nor any "real religion" has to do anything with proving. Agnostics: there might be a god, but I do not know ... never saw one! Does that count? Atheist: I am convinced there are no gods (but can not prove it: how the funk do you prove a non existing?) Bottom line, I do not care. Just like an Agnostics, I am just convinced and he leaves it open to surprise, when he dies ... or when ever he meets a god(dess).

And I most certainly have not any desire to convince a believer that his believes are BS. Because: I am an Atheist: I do not fucking care about his/her believes!!

Full screen covert thing. What is the point of that, if you have a big screen? macOS started years ago to put full screen apps into their own virtual desktop. Which is often extremely annoying. The only apps I use full screen are IDEs. It does not make any sense for web browsers or office apps.
