If it isn't copyright infringement to read a book and apply those ideas to make a product (which it isn't), then it isn't copyright infringement to train an LLM with the info in a piece of media.

Pretty cut and dry.

But if you pirated a book to read it, then applied those ideas to make a product, you still committed a crime.
