One of the major problems for him seems to be that the show left such a bad taste in his mouth too. In some interviews he hinted at that and also that the show’s horrible ending messed with the plans he had had for the books.
I believe the claims that OpenAI scrolled not just libraries of books with rights expired but pirated works where rights are still active.

Yeah, I have very little doubt that this is what happened. They probably never bothered to restrict their crawlers and just let them crawl all piracy sites too.
