The @AuthorsGuild reports that the Anthropic settlement of $3,000 per infringed title will be divided between author and publisher—so the amount the author receives per book will vary.

AI companies fiercely defend their own IP while helping themselves to everyone else’s. The Atlantic argues copyright infringement isn’t a side issue in the AI boom — it’s central to their business model

The #AuthorsGuild has created a Human Authored Certificate for writers to make sure readers know their books contain no AI content! There will be a public database where people can look up a book to verify this. I have just registered all my books! Not today, Skynet. 😉
