This is a fantasy. It seems very likely to me that, sans regulation, the market utopia you describe will never appear.

I am not entirely convinced by the arguments in the linked opinions either. However, I do agree with the main thrust that (1) machines that are indistinguishable from humans are a novel and serious issue, and (2) without some kind of consumer protections or guardrails things will go horribly wrong.

I strongly disagree. I heard the same arguments about how Google needs regulation because nobody could possibly compete. A few years later we have DDG, Brave Search, Searx, etc.

There are no machines than are indistinguishable from humans. That is science fiction.
