At least there will be a copy left for us. The AI companies won't share these books in their original form.

Because it's illegal. That's the whole reason they are shredding books in the first place, because copyright law forces them to do stupid things.

Google wanted to share the whole of Google Books 15 years ago, too, but they were sued to hell, so now you get a watered down search functionality.
