Why should it be? I’d personally be pissed if my book, which came from my own hard work and is sold per person, all of the sudden get subsumed by a general AI. Even worse if it is commercialized and I get nothing for it.

what if a classroom of students learnt from your book, and ended up with a high paying job, innovation, or production, none of which makes any profit for you as an author of said book (except for the copy sold to the student)?
That’s perfectly in line with the common role and understanding of books.
