I did in fact read the article. The author isn’t concerned about the book project. The author wants to use it as a springboard for complaining about AI fear, and his argument fundamentally hinges on the claim that AI training is fair use. He’s claiming the book project is comparable to AI training.
I think the book project has a better claim to fair use than AI training does, although excerpting entire pages is maybe too far (but the word highlighting does feel like commentary).
