I think focusing on lost jobs is the wrong angle to take this in. It's in how the content being used is being compensated. OpenAi isn't paying writers to train their engine.
I don't care that the car replaced the horse carriage because it didn't need to compensate horses nor handlers to do so. AI being the newest iteration of scraping data from artists, writers, etc. to profit millions off of is directly using the "horse handler's" work. If these LLM's threw NYT a royalty to use their articles as training material, there wouldn't be a lawsuit.
