I think there is case to be made that AI companies are taking the content - providing people with a modified version of that content and not necessarily providing references to the original material. Much of the content that is created by people is done so to generate revenue. They are denied that revenue when people don't go to their site. One might interpret that as theft. In the case of GRRM's books - I would assumed they were purchased and the author received the revenue from the sale.
