alt Hacker News> anger seems to be mostly from gatekeepers that are relentlessly screaming that their gates are being bypassed for pennies.
Sorry what? Authors are gatekeepers to what? Their books that they wrote and now will never get paid for cuz the LLM ripped it?
Considering that books have probably been the easiest thing to pirate for the last 30 years, and LLMs are probably the worst way to try and read a book free, I'm not sure why authors would be focusing their anger at AI.
Many books you can even get free at a library....
