"Good" news: Some companies have solved both the slop-fed-slop model collapse issue and the copyright lawsuit issue
Bad news: it requires buying old books, scanning them, and then destroying them so nobody else can use that knowledge or prove plagiarism or copyright violation

This is what good journalism does! We've seen the recent coverage about a marketing landing page on our site, and we understand the concern it raised. The facts: ISBNdb has never purchased, scanned, or sold a book - for AI training or anything else. We don't train AI models, and we never have. The page was a test of market interest; no such service was ever brought to life. We've taken the page down. https://isbndb.com/news https://www.404media.co/ai-company-training-scanning-books-database-isbndb/
