If you can't do something which looks reasonable within the laws, it means that the laws have to change.
I don't see how building such a model of historical documents would impact authors (which most of them are dead anyways).

Then change the law. For everyone, consistently, not just massive AI companies. Until then, deal with it.

It impacts the authors of new documents, who do not get to copy those historical documents, while an AI competing with them gets to. If you want those historical documents to be freely available, make copyright stop applying to them. For everyone, not just massive AI companies.
I'm personally in favor of a heavily reduced copyright duration similar to patents and so if AI makes people realize how stupid the current laws look, I take it.
That'd be fine if AI waited for the law to change, rather than just breaking it and trying to grow fast enough to make countries scared to enforce their own laws against it.
