• Michael Capobianco raises a good point about the Anthropic settlement – for some authors, their publisher will get 50% of the settlement.
• The Authors Guild has concerns about Amazon’s Ask This Book Kindle feature.
• Rod Raglin brings our attention to a new scam targeting authors.
• The New Yorker asks what if readers end up preferring AI-generated novels. That’s kind of like asking if they prefer a mashup of writing styles instead of a single one.
