I fully, 100% expect that this is the golden age of AI for mere mortals. Right now the overriding drive is to get it out there and get as many people paying as much as possible for it, which fights against limiting it more than absolutely necessary. So we can still make videos with trademarked characters and reverse engineer proprietary software and all that sort of stuff right now.

But enjoy it while you can, because for all their singing the praises of how it empowers people now, as soon as it actually, you know, empowers the people, the establishment will start shutting it down on one side while enshittification starts eating it from the other.

Both of those trends have already started, they're just being outrun by the pace of progress and the need for revenue. But both of those things will eventually pass.
