Garrison Lovely, author of Obsolete: The AI Industry's Trillion-Dollar Race to Replace Us—and How to Stop It, argues it "would be very funny if America's legal system saved us from the AI industry" — and it just might work.

He is donating a portion of his book royalties and notes related efforts from the Irreplaceable organization.
