The differences don't seem salient though. Doing a legal thing faster doesn't generally make it any less legal; doing it for profit changes the legal regime somewhat but not in ways that seem relevant to what's being claimed.

“But officer, it is legal to drive just slightly slower than I was going!”

Simply put: You are wrong. The law makes arbitrary distinctions all the time, for practical reasons.

There is a specific law against driving above a certain speed. There's no law like that against being an AI.
