    This story is about a non-fiction work.

    What is the purpose of a non-fiction work? It’s to give the reader further knowledge on a subject.

    Why does an LLM manufacturer train their model on a non-fiction work? To be able to act as a substitute source of the knowledge.

    End result is that

    • the original is made redundant.
    • the original author is no longer credited.
