But no real book nerd has read everything. Current law was designed for the capabilities of humans.

Sure, we could change current law, but I think that only forces an AI company to buy one copy of every book. I don’t think it gives any sort of royalty stream to anyone beyond that. Copyright is literally the right to make copies. Once I have acquired a copy, I can read it, summarize it, transform it, etc. in myriad ways.
You can't make copies though. AI training requires making copies of materials, even if they're purchased.
