It's really clear to me that a new legal framework will be required to deal with the societal consequences of advanced AI. For example, if this article were instead about, say, an actual human who read all of these books, and then posted reviews and some summaries online, and then this human got sued by the authors, I think every single comment here would be decrying this as an abuse of copyright law, and that this should fall squarely under fair use.

The thing that is "scarier" if you will about what AI can do is the sheer speed and breadth that it is capable of. It really is the scale that changes how people feel about these technologies, and that requires new legal frameworks in my opinion because I think people really feel what is "fair use" is different if it comes from a person vs. a machine.

Similar analogy: before the Internet, pretty much everyone agreed you didn't have an expectation of privacy if you were walking around outdoors. But there is a marked difference in thinking "Yeah, I expect other people walking around may see me, or even take a picture of me" compared to "I think someone should be able to take a picture of me and put it on the Internet with my accurate geolocation so the entire planet can look it up, for all time."
