We don't need to pretend though. People with speed reading skills are faster than most humans as well and could read a lot more books.

It's very probable that you read at least one writers whole library, even if it's as many stories as Terry Pratchett got published which will always be true for human written books as writing them takes longer than reading.

Obviously the acquirement of those stories has to be made in a legal way and no actual passages should be stored in the model but the amount of data processed should have no say on if it can be used.

And as written by others here. Making copyright law more strict puts big corps at an advantage because they have big legal teams and money to just pay the copyright fee while your regular user would not be able to.
