Assuming that books used for GPT training were indeed purchased, not pirated, and since "AI training" was not prohibited at the time of the purchase, the engineers had every right to use them. Maybe authors in the future could prohibit "AI training" but for the books purchased before they do, "AI training" is a fair usage.
