According to the post by Andrew Albanese and Jim Milliot, authors and agents have some serious questions about the licensing agreement HarperCollins has signed with an unknown AI company. The post contains quotes from authors, agents and other publishing officials with their opinions. There are links to other posts with information about the agreement.
