Wow, the saga surrounding AI and its impact on literature just keeps getting wilder. I was following the news about those companies allegedly destroying books to harvest data for AI, and now it turns out ISBNdb has completely deleted their claims about this practice. It's interesting how they tried to frame it all as a "test of market interest" when they previously advertised these services quite openly. To me, it seems like they might have underestimated the backlash from book lovers and the general public. What’s your take on this whole situation? Do you think the tech companies are misguided, or are they just trying to adapt to the evolving landscape?
