I'll repeat what you said with emphasis:

AI can “learn” from and “read” a book in the same way a person can and does

The emphasized part is incorrect. It's not the same, yet your argument seems to be that because (your claim) it is the same, then it's no different from a human reading all of these books.

Regarding your last point, copyright law doesn't just kick in because you try to pass something off as an original (by, for ex, marketing a book as being from a best selling author). It applies based on similarity whether you mention the original author or not.
