Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, this is just my interpretation of the situation from the comments above.
I don't have an answer to your question, which seems more general and doesn't correspond to the situation described by the article anyway: here the corporations have the right to use copyrighted materials to train their model, in the same way that you are allowed to learn from the same materials. You might even learn it by heart if you want to, but copyright laws forbid you from reproducing it, and in this instance the Japanese law tries to follow the same principle for AI models.
How should the corporations implement their training to prevent their models to reproduce the material verbatim is their problem, not the copyright holder's, in exactly the same fashion if you learn an article by heart, it's on you to make sure you won't recite it to the public.
For profit products are not individual human's putting in effort to learn. Stop making that comparison.
Humans are human. Humans can human when there is no profit motive without it being a copyright violation. Effectively infinitely scaling, for profit products, can't 'human' without it being a copyright violation. The two are much different cases, in no way comparable.
For profit products are PRODUCTS intended to make money for companies. AIs are scalable past an individual human.
Rules/concepts for humans are not relevant at all for for profit products.
