Scanning a book also preserves it digitally, and it's not like destroying a book, destroys all copies of it. Try to relax.
Even if some rare volume is lost, who gives a fuck, there's a good chance it was written by a shithead anyway.

Bookstores are reporting very suspicious orders they believe are linked to AI
One bookstore called Kenny’s Bookshop got an order 5,000 books, most of them very obscure and second hand
Many book dealers are now flagging orders like this after Anthropic by Claude ran an internal project called project Panama
Court documents from a copyright lawsuit revealed they bought millions of physical books in bulk, cut the spines off with industrial machines for high-speed scanning, digitized the pages for AI training data
After they were done with the books they just threw them away
So now when bookstores get orders like this, it’s very concerning

That’s probably not the main issue when it comes to the dumbing down of society. Books don't really disappear; they get reprinted, they’re available digitally, and so on. What’s way, way worse is how social media is spreading disinformation.
