Inside the Anthropic Class-Action Lawsuit: Shocking Revelations That Could Change AI Forever
So, here’s a twist that might just make any author do a double take: What if the stories that you poured your heart into were secretly part of an AI’s training diet—without your say-so?

But before you start daydreaming about unexpected royalties, there’s a bit of legwork involved in claiming what’s yours. Curious how this bizarre blend of AI, piracy, and publishing rights all comes together? Let’s untangle the story and make sure you’re not missing out on what could be a rather welcome surprise.
