Do LLM really give an economic advantage though? I've mostly seen them used to write quirky poems and bad code. People are scrambling to find use-cases but it's not very convincing so far.
On the other hand, if LLM are used to "launder" copyright content and, accepting the premises of copyright law, this has the effect of reducing incentives to do creative work, that has obvious negative implications for economic productivity.

Assuming this is in good faith: the ability to write code, documentation, and tests is absolutely a productivity enhancer to an existing programmer. The code snippets from a dedicated tool like copilot are of very usable quality if you're using a popular language like Python or JS.
