Hah! The first thing I thought when I read that they appointed "AI champions" was, "those people should learn how to use ollama with local models."

Though using the incoming book text for training probably isn't a big deal at this point because these companies are more concerned with the non-context part of the prompt (i.e. stuff other than the book text) and its output instead of the context itself.

Training their LLMs with incomplete/unedited works is generally not best practices. That's basically how you poison your model.

    They're also using AI to perform grammar checks. They're not firing editors, but why waste an editor's time having them fix grammar when an AI model will spot all the mistakes in seconds? It'll also spot the mistakes editors miss.

    There's an old joke in publishing: The day you get the first (final) copy of your book is the same day you find a typo. With AI, that's not going to happen, so they can't not use it at this point.
