I would be halfway willing to bet that some genius asked ChatGPT "please provide me with a list of URLs where my book is being illegally shared", or something similar, and then started firing off emails.

These are actual hashes for books that exist somewhere on the IPFS network. You can get a lot of them to resolve. They've just never been requested from the site the DMCA notices are being sent to. It's more likely that someone downloaded an IPFS hash list from LibGen and started sending emails generated from that.
