No.

  • A pen manufacturer should not be able to decide what people can and can't write with their pens.
  • A computer manufacturer should not be able to limit how people use their computers (I know they do - especially on phones and consoles - and seem to want to do this to PCs too now - but they shouldn't).
  • In that exact same vein, writers should not be able to tell people what they can use the books they purchased for.

.

We 100% need to ensure that automation and AI benefits everyone, not a few select companies. But copyright is totally the wrong mechanism for that.

They didn't pay the writers though, that's the whole point

There is no law that requires them to be paid for this.

That probably depends a lot on definitions of terms of legalese, but there should be a law explicitly for this in every civilised country.
