    With the opt-out bit I was trying to get at consent, I should’ve worded that better.

    I don’t know what exact argument to use, but a machine using art to “learn” feels very different from a human doing the same.

      Does an author get to request consent before you read their book? Or is consent implied because they published it?

        Consent is granted by your purchase/borrowing of the book, that’s how that works.

        If you acquired the text through unintended means I doubt the author would (generally) consent to your reading of it.
