There was a relatively tiny but otherwise identical uproar over Google even before they added infoboxes that reduced the number of people who clicked through.

But is that because it isn't fair use or because of the virulent rabies epidemic among media company lawyers?
Normal people that aren't media companies were objecting to search engines indexing websites? That seems more likely to have been media companies using the fact that they're media companies to get people riled up over a thing the company is grumpy about.
There was also the lawsuit against google for the Google Scholar project, which is not only very similar to how AI use ingest copyright material, but even more than AI actually reproduced word for word (intentionally so) snippets of those works. Google Scholar is also fair use.
