    Meta might’ve trained its AI models on not-yet-published books, too.

    Last week, The Atlantic launched a tool designed to search the LibGen database that Meta allegedly trained its AI models on. Author Maris Kreizman writes for Literary Hub that she found her still-unpublished work in the mix:

    But my upcoming essay collection won’t be published until July 1, and yet somehow Meta has already accessed it to train its AI. Advance copies of digital galleys are available legitimately for the most part only on NetGalley and Edelweiss, and both of those services have strict terms and conditions about what users can do with unpublished work (not much!).
