"Consent" means very different things in different contexts. In some contexts, it's entirely irrelevant. An author doesn't have to grant their consent for their book to be indexed and lent out in public libraries, for example. The library buys a copy on the open market, and they can lend it out to as many people as they like ... with no further permission from the author or publisher required.

Well, seems like in this case it's relevant if publishers really don't like it when AI learns on their data.
