How DARE you, @benji_smith I demand you take my book off your site immediately. I do not consent to this, and never did. And I know my publisher never would

Hey everyone. Thanks for chiming in here. I’m truly sorry to have hurt you in any way. I’m going to write a longer post later today talking about this topic…

I am not one of the authors whose work you stole this way, but in solidarity with every other author I say take your site down immediately. You are not sorry or it would be down already. What you are doing is deeply unethical and should be illegal.

What specifically do you think is unethical or should be illegal here?

How does one steal something that is publicly available on the Internet?

Good to know a strong stance against adverb counting is part of the platform 👍

He didn’t steal anyone’s work.

What is it that you think his site does? It's not using the works for generative AI — it's just calculating some simple summary statistics, right? Having trouble understanding how that could be at all unethical, let alone "deeply".

Please tell me more. Fair use is unethical and should be illegal? I’m curious if you actually understand the law here, or are simply jumping on the bandwagon du jour a la the orange idiot?

I hope you're not hoping to be responsible for anything important if you're this quick to snap to judgment with seemly little facts.

Unethical in what way?
