Consider this - if I wanted to read A Game of Thrones, then I would read A Game of Thrones, not some bootleg LLM approximation. It is faster, more exact an cheaper to infringe by copying, a LLM is a terrible tool for infringement, it is slow, expensive and doesn't actually reproduce perfectly. The fact that some are using AI means they want something different, not the original.
Yes of course as a reader you would read the original. The major infringement isn't the LLM directly spitting out parts of the book to an end user (a reader). It occurs when the LLM injects parts of the book into a new text, without attribution, which some other writer will go on and sell thousands of copies of. The LLM acts as the washing machine.
