Copyright law includes many exceptions explicitly for libraries.

Copywrite law doesn't ban people from reading the source altogether.

That is what is being proposed, ban AI from being allowed to 'read' the content.

The real argument is how does a human brain aggregate knowledge and then profit from it, and is it really that different from an AI model aggregating knowledge.

They both read in data, perform calculations on the data, and spit out something.

This is a religious belief and not scientific knowledge or strong legal argument.
Are you projecting a religious argument onto LLM's?

It seems you are assuming that humans contains some metaphysical 'essence' like a soul that is doing the thinking?

Please connect the dots here.

Why should it be okay for humans to make a profit off of reading copyrighted content, though?
