The comments there are absolutely unhinged. There are some good reasons for being anti-AI, but why dilute it with this kind of bullshit:

You're right, it is arguably worse than book burning, not only are they seeking to deprive others of the books, they also want to profit off it.
>they seeking to deprive others of the books
Yeah, this isn't a thing. Throwing out books, even "rare" ones, is a regular procedure. And if you really want to read 'em, you can buy any of these books right now.

That's only bullshit if you trust AI companies to serve the book contents without alteration.
I don’t trust or expect AI companies to serve books at all. That’s not what they are scanning them for.
Not in a traditional sense, but obviously on the surface, they're using the info to regurgitate in some fashion and serve back.
The point is that even under the best intentions, hallucinations occur. Then there's the fact that most models have an ideological bias programmed into them.
The only expectation I have is for companies or anybody else to not destroy rare books. Is that such a tall order?
