"The new wording states: 'No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner for the purpose of training artificial intelligence technologies or systems', and will be included in all new titles and any backlist titles that are reprinted."
The world’s biggest trade publisher has changed the wording on its copyright pages to help protect authors’ intellectual property from being used to train AI tools, The Bookseller can exclusively reve...
I hope other publishers follow.
Don't worry guys, when AI brings about Dead Internet it won't matter that they're attempting to destroy art.

Current state - we can't stop ML training - that legal framework might change someday - we aren't getting paid from training - some of us want money for the things you already do - some of us want to never be involved - getting on the wrong side of the second group leads to worse pr weird times.
Good job Penguin. All independent authors need to use language like this in their published works as well.
Thinking of using language like this at my website. Since it seems impossible to block content scrapers? I use WordPress, all advice welcome.
It will be interesting to see how it will be enforced.
