The Authors Guild, a professional organisation for American writers, has written an open letter calling for big tech companies to compensate them fairly for using their work to train AI.
Without human source material, the technology can't learn how to write for itself. The authors claim they've not given permission for access to their work, nor been paid for the value it's added.
Maya Shanbhag Lang is an author of fiction and the president of the Guild. She describes why the situation is like going into a famous restaurant, eating well, then not paying.

People should be compensated for their work, their likeness, their image, etc. CEOs, studio execs, big tech company heads - they all need to stop making money off the backs of people who are actually doing the work.
This is why all billionaires are inherently evil. It is impossible for someone to make 1 billion dollars off hard work alone.
