LLMs are not people, and some organized way are worse than others, yes.
In the same way we defined "fair use" for those reviewing a movie for instance to be ok, but we don't find it acceptable to put 99% of the movie with a single comment.
LLMs are tools used by people, like typewriters, paintbrushes, and other types of algorithm.
If a work is in the public domain, that means that people are free to copy it, redistribute it, modify it, and create derivative works from it, using whatever tools suit them.
Right and sometimes thats cool and sometimes it sucks.
Fwiw, I think its a tragedy that our great works of culture can be appropriated to sell Coca-Cola and merchandise
Why is it a tragedy that people are using "our great works of culture" to engage in other activities within our culture?

While Coke commercials didn't create the image of americanized Santa as is often claimed they helped shape it. Wily Wonka and the chocolate factory is widely viewed as a classic despite it being a giant Candy ad
