AI's hunger for data is now consuming rare books and booksellers are cashing in

Artificial intelligence firms are purchasing vast quantities of physical books. These books are scanned to train large language models and then destroyed. Rare and out-of-print titles are particularly sought after for this purpose. Booksellers report a significant surge in demand for these older publications. This practice raises concerns about the loss of scarce literary works.
