This isn't a copyright thing. This is a tech regulation thing, that creates the possibility for data protection agencies to stick their noses in AI company's business.

how does allowing the ai companies to ignore copyright improve the situation, pray tell?

I love how the time factor is always ignored when tech companies eventually comply with regulation or just do the right thing. "at least they did it" isn't an argument, it's a consolation.
It took airbnb over a year(!) to show all the fees up front on the search results page instead of waiting to show them on the checkout page. That's over a year after their asshat CEO announced on twitter that they would be doing it (to quell the social media uproar about how deceptive it was)
