So your argument is that…. I’m having trouble seeing your argument actually. There’s no way in hell that any company will ever pay for rights to train on books, they will try to find a workaround. The most expensive part currently is the energy and companies barely stomach that, they’re definitely not going to deal with publishers that most definitely will charge much much more than that for what amounts to eternal use of their books. If this lawsuit succeeds it will kill all training of ai on books. Big companies won’t be excluded.
Google paid 60 million for reddits data. They will pay the price they are asked from the 5 big publishing houses and they will happily do it because it gives them a monopoly.
Googles revenue in 2022 was 280 billion. They can easily afford this and aren’t close to “barely stomaching” anything.

Wishful thinking imo.
