Soo, if I read a book without asking the author first, he can sue me for reading the book?

Yes, apparently we do. It's like there's a correct way of reading a book, and if you read that book to improve your English you are doing it wrong

This is going to be interesting. We'll end up having to sign an EULA before reading soon...

To be fair, GPT is not a person. It's like a fuzzy database with lossy-compression. If they over-trained GPT on specific books, it could cite the books verbatim, which would then violate copyright and IP laws. (Not that I'm a fan of IP laws).
