no, a book certainly is way more than the “data” it contains
Quoting
From the website of the company that’s destroying books to feed them into the ravenous AI maw.
“A physical book is a delivery mechanism for information. Once that information has been extracted and encoded into an AI model, the delivery mechanism has served its purpose. What remains is paper, ink, and binding material. The book is not destroyed. Its value has migrated. The paper returns to the material cycle; the knowledge enters the intellectual one.” https://www.news.com.au/technology/online/internet/ai-labs-buy-scan-shred-millions-of-rare-books/news-story/0c3b45a67093ab462a587a0348538ce9

maybe the SysAdmin was just too stoned
“…The documents were hosted by systems used by cannabis clubs and a company called Nefos, which operates PuffPal, a platform that manages membership & age verification for cannabis retailers and clubs across Europe. The infrastructure storing these identity documents—passport scans, driver’s licenses with photos, names, and identifying numbers—was left completely unprotected on publicly accessible web servers..”
