In case you were wondering why it is not permitted to copy content from the manual into any machine learning/AI tool, here is the explanation.
Copying content into any of these tools results in storage of the material on the AI tool server.
The AI tool can then manipulate, plagiarise and reproduce the material in ways that can make identifying a copyright breach extremely difficult. Even if this is identified, AI tools are owned by large corporations with legal resources that small content creators cannot match.
AI tool owners are scraping content from the internet to help train their tools without appropriate permission from content creators. This is particularly common in the music industry where the purpose is to replace creators with AI generated content. There is no reason to think this will not happen to other content. such as online medical resources.
AI tool owners are only interested in making money and had shown scant regard for other peoples intellectual property. People have invested heavily in these tools and now expect returns at any cost, including exploitation of content creators..
For these reasons, we consider transferring content of the manual into an AI model as the most serious copyright breach as it will, ultimately, lead to the end of the production of this manual..
