Printed books might be the only way writers can protect their work from Meta thieves and so-called pirates. The thought of all my hard work being stolen and used in AI training sickens me to the core. I’m not published yet. Now waiting for solutions.

And, for the first time since I began my writing journey, I’m relieved that my novels are yet to be published.
I’m tempted to be radical here and only publish my work in good old-fashioned (or retro) print.
What about #PrintOnly in place of #DigitalFirst ?#WritingCommunity

I’m heartbroken 💔 for all the authors whose hard work has been stolen and used by Meta to train its AI. Now AI can be used by unscrupulous people to create novels that these people might pass off as their work. These authors got nothing from Meta and did not give it permission.
