You should definitely join any class action against Meta for this kind of thing. I hope they get proper fucked for harvesting those books without permission or payment.
I don't hate LLM's either. I refuse to call it AI because I'm a bit anal, but they certainly have their uses.
I just bought one of your books - in the US - from an actual bookshop. IANAL and I doubt anyone would let me BBQ one on TV, but I expect that gives you enough of a casus belli or casus whatever you need to join a US class action.
I saw this over on Chuck Wendig's page. He is a bit salty, as all authors should be. I can just imagine those douche bros saying "they were already pirated, its not like you can steal them twice". AI generated content on instagram is getting harder to tell at a glance as well. Almost ready to bin that app now. It's crawling with bots and makes me itchy just thinking about it.
Computational linguist Emily Bender described LLMs as “stochastic parrots”.
Perfect
You should absolutely join a class action in any jurisdiction that will have you. Do you have a US agent? Maybe sic them onto it?

That's actually douchier than saying "you all should just chill out, can't you see we're making the world a better place?"

Yes. One would think that if you engage in commerce in the US (🤔, how many of your books do I own?), you could participate.
Clearly not a lawyer, but I’d be willing to BBQ one on TV.
