You can only read the book, if you purchased it. Even if you dont have the intent to reproduce it, you must purchase it. So, I guess NVDA should just purchase all those books, no?

Yep, I agree. That’s the part that’s clearly illegal. They should purchase the books, but they didn’t.

This is the bit an author friend of mine really hates. They didn’t even buy a copy.

And now AI has killed his day job writing legal summaries. So they took his words without a license and used them to put him out of a job.

Really rubs in that “shit on the little guy” vibe.

Obviously not; one can borrow books from libraries and read them as well.

That's true. But the book itself was legally purchased. So if nvidia went to the library and trained AI by borrowing books, that should be technically legal.
