Sora: Creating video from text

Is it? What is another example of a technological leap that made a certain class of workers redundant while also continually relying on the output of these same workers to be feasible in the first place?

The current batch of LLMs is in the same class of technological revolutions as Napster and The Pirate Bay. Immensely impactful, sure, but mostly because of theft of value from elsewhere.

Isn't the Luddite movement an example?

The factories that replaced the artisans were only made possible by the work of the artisans forging the way.

I don't think so. The main idea is that for AI to continue to develop new data is needed. Skills of the Luddites were no longer needed.

New data can still be created using AI and curation, couldn't it? New works, incorporating AI or not, still enjoy copyright protections that one can monetize by selling access to that specific work.
