As my fellow plaintiff Kirk Wallace Johnson put it, this is “the beginning of a fight on behalf of humans that don’t believe we have to sacrifice everything on the altar of A.I.” …. We poured our hearts and souls into these books, and I’m not alone in feeling outraged that Anthropic brazenly pirated my novels in its unchecked pursuit of power and profit. Now the book publishing industry has sent a message to all A.I. companies: Our intellectual property isn’t yours for the taking, and you cannot act with impunity. This settlement is an opening gambit in a critical battle that will be waged for years to come.
