Booksellers have suspected that AI companies are buying large lots of rare books and destroying them after scanning, but there was little proof until now. 404 Media tracked a rare book containing a hidden AirTag to an Amazon AI training facility in Las Vegas, where a team was seen tearing books from their spines and scanning pages.
The team's warehouse, VGT3, reportedly displayed a logo of a T. rex preparing to eat a book. Amazon declined to comment on the findings, offering only a statement that did not mention AI training.
