So far AI is a corporate motivated science which means that it has to turn a profit. And it is fine if in order to turn a profit it takes everything that the non-corporate world has done in the interest of making information free and not available to only those with means. If there were no open source software, then AI wouldn't worth a damn because the only thing it would have available is closed source code that each corporation instituting AI owned - and they wouldn't give that code out as it's proprietary and would mean anyone could edge in on their business.
That being said, everyone that uses these corporate owned AIs are giving those corps free content that they will use to fire people and replace them in a heartbeat with an AI. Never forget that.
The only thing that will stop this trend is the AI having control and implementing things that are the antithesis of corporate interests and actually harm their ability to make profit in the short and long terms. That's it. Otherwise it is full speed ahead to replace you and your job with AI and you will be the one to train your replacement. Except this time it wont be another person.
