Okay, the thing that really matters to me:
It really only got rid of things that would’ve otherwise had to go to begin with, while saving a few others.
It feels a bit closer to malicious compliance more than truly letting the AI decide the fate of things, and doing full proper compliance within the 3 months they were given would’ve been nigh impossible. I’m suspecting that the lawmakers were hoping that by giving them such a small timeframe, schools would throw everything vaguely suspect out. This ultimately leaves more books accessible, which I consider to be a good end result, even if the process to get there is a little weird.
Next time, GPT3 will be used to submit book takedown requests, and also to review them.
