I literally read this short story in ... probably Asimov's SF, probably in the 1990s. Could've been Analog.

Seriously, though - this was, like, the entire plot. Exactly this. EXACTLY this.

From https://futurism.com/future-society/anthropic-destroying-books :

Anthropic shredded millions of physical books to train its Claude AI model — and new documents suggest that it was well aware of just how bad it would look if anyone found out.

Newly unsealed documents suggest that Anthropic was well aware that destroying books to train its AI would look bad.

@moira and in one of Vernor Vinge's (lesser) #SciFi novels.
Fast Times at Fairmont High.
The #ZonesOfThought novels were and remain much better.

@Photo55 Never read Fairmont High. I liked the Across Realtime collection, and A Fire Upon the Deep was just a delight through and through.

@moira A Deepness in the Sky is pretty good also.
The third one has some very good bits, more Tines, but falls a bit short.
