I read that the AI companies buy old books and scan them while destroying in the process. So, rare books are now disappearing irreversibly, because they will be accessible only through AI slop that was produced with them. This saddens me gravely. At the same time, I cannot do anything about it. Which further overwhelms me. (They destroy books because it's faster like that. There is no intent, but this doesn't change how I feel. On some levels, it's even worse. But on others, equally evil.)
