HarperCollins, Microsoft AI deal sets first public price for training data

The agreement calls for Microsoft to pay a fee of $5,000 per title, split 50-50 between the author and HarperCollins. The deal allows the AI developer to use the data for a period of three years. Payment would be made directly to the author and would not count against a title’s advance.

This deal is surely unavailable to self-published authors. I wonder if it requires a publisher with an attorney who can credibly threaten to sue.
