Said model contains gigabytes of a bunch of weights that can never go back to the exact words of the book.

And yet, the tech bros do have access to the exact words. The only difference is that they don't share, instead choosing to extract value from it by training an LLM and (eventually, hypothetically) turn a profit. The product is created by processing the intellectual labor of billions of people into a formless amalgam of human creativity, which is then exploited for their private benefit.
