“AI is the first realistic means of bypassing [laws and bureaucracy]”

Huge disagreement on all fronts.

The AI companies state in their Terms of Service broadly that users have commercial rights to their prompt outputs, and can even copyright them - while also keeping the output for their own data naturally. It doesn’t bypass laws or bureaucracy… At all. Rather its the billionaires trying to steal all creative arts, coding, and any other industry works they can manage - and package into their “same but slightly different” slop that outcompetes the original creators - with no protection given to those creators whose original has been copied without any kind of compensation or agreement. Its another wealth transfer.

One of many problems the article points out - they don’t invent anything, it’s all just regurgitations of past work. This is the path of stagnation, not innovation.
