The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America is actively recruiting members for a class-action lawsuit against Anthropic AI, with the organization claiming victory in establishing that the company's training methods don't qualify as fair use.
Anthropic could devastate the SFWA officers and marginal memrrs by asking for short stories " in the style" or better, "with the language complexity," of those people. I will wager JDA another book purchase that the AI prepares a more readable product.
SFWA has a point about the AI using pirated versions. I'll give them that.
But I bet AI is probably better right now at writing stories than the typical blue-haired comb-over genderless body-type Blob writing "science fiction" today.
I'm a Life Member of SFWA since 1997. 32 of my books are in the eligible database.
And I support Anthropic 100 percent on this one. Training an AI on a book is no different than reading one.
I stand with Anthropic!

I've already done shorts in the style of William Gibson, Tanith Lee, Neil Gaiman, and some popular Lit RPG authors.

Let AI have its run.
They don't because how can they prove where what book was gotten from? It's conjecture.
Weren't these the people who said it was okay to AI when writing? Or was some other group of grifters?
No they hate AI and protest it at every turn. They're scared cuz AI writes better than them.
