Amazon’s quietly ripping spines off rare books to feed its AI—yes, really. A tracker planted in a vintage tome ended up at an Amazon warehouse in Vegas, complete with a dinosaur holding a book. The company claims it’s all for customer service, but the real story? AI giants are desperate for fresh, human-written text to train their models, since the internet’s already been mined. Older books, untouched by AI, are gold—because training on AI-generated content risks “model collapse,” like copying a copy of a copy. This raises alarms: are we sacrificing irreplaceable historical texts for tech progress? The trade-off’s sparking fierce debate about preservation vs. innovation.
