If you own a book, it should be legal for your computer to take a picture of it. I honestly feel bad for some of these AI companies because the rules around copyright are changing just to target them. I don't owe copyright to every book I read because I may subconsciously incorporate their ideas into my future work.

Are we reading the same article? The article explicitly states that it's okay to cut up and scan the books you own to train a model from them.

The ruling would be a huge win for AI companies if held. It's really weird that you reached the opposite conclusion.
