They stole from a minimum of 52 scientific articles/books/chapters from my body of academic work too.

Is the italic part an AI re-write of your work? I'm not quite following here...

Added an edit!

Edit: This post is about finding out that Meta using my memoir, We Heard it When We Were Young, as fodder to train its Large Language Learning Model A.I. It also contains parts of a fictional short story idea I’ve had for more than a decade. Since learning about this Meta incident I’ve thought more and more about this short story and decided to flesh it out a bit for this pot. It’s About a mouthpiece for a tech company unveiling the latest evolution in its artificial intelligence. A device that they claim can tell a story as good as any author, living or dead. The italics are the fictional short story. If you just want the “real” account of what happened feel free to skip the italics.

Thanks for reading Sandra!
