OpenAI Buys Berlin Library Naming Rights, Offers AI-Generated Book Summaries

  Did the authors of those books get anything? Can’t imagine book sales will improve when anyone can ask chatGPT to: “summarize the main ideas of this book” “Tell me more about this idea” “Tell me more about that”

    From the article: > Tuesday, April 1 But it's... believable, plausible. Well let's hope it's an April-first thing...

    The authors of the books didn't get anything because this article is an April fools joke ("Update: April fools" at the bottom). Hypothetically if it were a real scheme, it doesn't seem like it'd displace a sale given the summaries are only for books the library has already bought.

  Wow, they really got me with that April Fools' prank! Sorry for the mix-up, folks.
