#Meta stole my books: Cuentos incatásticos and Pachamama, diosa extraordinaria. Meta used the #LibGen dataset, full of pirated works, to train their AI.
META must #DoTheWriteThing
Please continue to support authors by purchasing our work and using your local library #makeitfair
My books are available at https://linktr.ee/helenpugh
