AI bots and Pressbooks

Development
1

I am preparing my first Pressbook. I am happy to offer my book open-access to readers who can use it, but do not want to give it to AI billionaires to chop into fragments of “content” for training. How are current authors dealing with this problem? What strategies does Pressbooks have, or what are in development?

I was considering making it “private,” behind a registration page. Any other ideas?

Thanks!
Janet

Definitely that’s a good starting point, AI and search engine crawlers can’t fetch your book data if content is set to private and only subscribed users login to read your content
