One wonders if some of the parties are using the sci-fi risk as a distraction from the more immediate one. Personally, I think the creation of things like ChatGPT in a way poisons the well for future models to be created in the same way able to be up to date with future trends. I think within a decade much original, quality stuff will be more explicitly protected from free scraping and training. And at the same time, freely available stuff will become flooded with LLM-generated crap, so any "vaccuum up everything free" models of tomorrow will be trained more on today's model's output than on human output. So whatever signifiers evolve to represent "this is real human-created stuff, not just AI crap" in conversations or art will be harder to adopt and copy without a lot of effort in your prompting and all.
