Yep, the more there's cases of using AI "ethically", the more the AI wins and takes. Maybe it'll be a slow boil of the proverbial frog or a landslide of massive layoffs triggering crises in bursts and causing some immediately visible and tangible damage - either is terrible and neither should happen.

Using AI "just a little" or "where it makes sense" only makes things worse down the line, for everyone.

I wonder if the AI companies gonna start claiming that whatever their slop machines have generated is their intellectual property and they should get roalties on that, becoming real pain for the coding teams that heavily used them. Although I don't know how to pull it off legally, but they got all the money for all the best lawyers and senile morons in governments that listen to them mouth agape while not being able to figure out WiFi for 20 years.
