Wow, so uh, that’s gonna come out to fractions of a cent on the dollar, in terms of actual revenue generated from flagrant copyright violations.
It is deeply infuriating how fundamentally our society is designed to protect of people and organizations that are already blindingly wealthy.

Will this perhaps set a precedent for future models where authors will be able to price their work differently?

Authors will receive next to nothing too :) Only publishers.

That’s the point of publishing deals, though. Authors don’t need to pay upfront costs, in return the publishers get to keep the revenues. Not really related to AI.
