There's a huge difference in scale. The human mind can only process a limited portion of all works available over a lifetime. Human learning is therefore naturally limited to small-scale reuse, which serves to keep it proportional.

A machine training on all copyrighted materials in the world for commercial purposes at an industrial scale makes it disproportionate.

I see that as a distinction - but does it make a difference?

If a company hired hundreds of savants, then it would be illegal for them to read books?

I don't follow.
