ABAA-member Scott Brown, owner of Oregon's Downtown Brown Books, has been researching the current tsunami of used and rare book purchases by AI companies, and the resultant destruction of these books. His summary of the true state of affairs can be found in a several comprehensive and pragmatic blog posts. (TL;DR -- It's worse than you think.)

The first, an overview of the situation, is here: https://downtownbrown.substack.com/p/chop-copy-shred

The purpose: does AI actually remember the books it scans? (No, not really): https://downtownbrown.substack.com/p/ai-destroys-books-and-mostly-forgets
