If human abilities were different then human laws would be different. We don't have speed limits for joggers but we do for cars because their abilities are materially different.
That‘s the magic trick you are doing with your analogy. You just assume that human/machine analogy is true.
we quickly learn what “inequality” means, since the computer has more access rights than people
This argument is pretty lame.
So I guess not dissimilar to an LLM
There are already a bunch of replies pointing out ways in which your metaphor breaks down, but here's another: the super intelligent speed reading human is not a "work" (in the sense of "derivative work").
Also, if I'm understanding your position, why wasn't your scenario about the human pirating the books and then reading them? It should make no difference if you really believe knowledge can't be stolen; both situations should be equivalent.
Are humans allowed to do that?
Creating personal copies of copyrighted works are allowed. (Also, libraries really don't mind if you take pictures of the content of works they have.)
