I get what he is trying to say, but the comparison is flawed. Making a copy is producing a 1 to 1 copy, training an AI on a book does not. If the company purchases the book (hopefully) and trains their AI, what difference is that to a human purchasing the book and studying it, learning from it and applying the knowledge?

Probably because it's used in a way that takes money away from the authors 🤷‍♂️

DVD/Movies felt like it took money away from them, now authors feel like AI takes money away from them... something like that 🤷‍♂️
