I don't think you've really thought this through. How would someone make millions off of that? If someone tried, the original author is still offering it for free. Why would someone pay for it?
A lot of people are very myopic about generative AI, thinking that large Hollywood studios are going to steal people's work and put everyone out of a job. Hollywood studios won't exist soon enough because anyone will be able to put together a movie that rivals existing expensive productions. In fact, generative AI is democratizing, as long as it's not gatekept by a few large corporations, which is exactly what trying to misapply copyright here would do.

Why would someone pay for it? Tens of millions of fans of a living celebrity would pay for it and the fans do not care about the original author as long as it is the celebrity's name that is selling it and can claim it as their own. They don't need to give credit or sources to whatever their selling to generate millions.
- AwaAwa 3y agoGiven a generation or so, a celebrity mostly won't have tens of millions of fans, because there will be tens of millions of celebrities. It's happening already but they are just called 'influencers, podcasters, youtubers' at the moment, with the line getting more blurred everyday.
- rvz 3y agoMy point still stands, depending on the price of say a book with the same text, etc which a celebrity with their millions of fans or tens of millions of fans can sell them and claim as their own. Either way, they can make millions out of it, even if you are the original author and don't need to give you credit.
