> Alsup also said, however, that Anthropic violated the authors' rights by saving pirated copies of their books as part of a "central library of all the books in the world" that would not necessarily be used for AI training.

Because Google has Google Books, now any US-based AI company can no longer compete against Gemini, or Chinese competitors who really do not care about copyright.
