>If you allow AI to skirt copyright law but humans have to live by it

Huh? At least from the argument you're presenting you're attempting to create "The Right to Read" world by RMS. Copyright is about output, not input. If I output something too close to your copyrighted content, that's the violation. Not me getting a book and reading it and sharing it with every one of my friends. Not looking by your art and being influenced by in in my artworks.

> then human labour becomes meaningless

You're 150 years late for the storyline of John Henry.

The problem here isn't machines can do everything and make us meaningless, where you're breaking is thinking that capitalism can even begin to work under this paradigm shift.

I don’t actually think capitalism can work under this paradigm shift.

Unfortunately for me, that is a bleeding edge understanding of reality that hasn’t propagated to the billions of people who live under capitalism.

That’s the tragedy. AI is a dystopian technology under current economics.

If you change the economics AI is utopian.

But we’re electing neoliberal governments, for the most part, in the West. Million $ question: what’s to be done ?
