How is the end user the one doing the infringement though? If I chat with ChatGPT and tell it „give me the first chapter of book XYZ“ and it gives me the text of the first chapter, OpenAI is distributing a copyrighted work without permission.

Can you do that though? Just ask ChatGPT to give you the first chapter of a book and it gives it to you?

Not a book chapter specifically but this could already be considered copyright infringement, I think.

If that’s the case, then sure, as I said in the first sentence of my comment, verbatim copies of copyrighted works would most likely constitute infringement.
