The more interesting question is IMO if AI training actually falls into one of these cases. You can read a book and also copy it, but you do not do because of the law. However, you have the ability to do so. Is having the ability to do something already forbidden?

In the Anthropic court case it was determined not to, ie that training was transformative.

It's like if you read a plumbing book and then made YouTube videos on how to fix a sink.
