18. I advocate the free dissemination of data.

90% of coders (on Github) are currently using the AI tools to help them code more efficiently. The same will be true of writers and artists (Adobe's tools for example).

Here's the point you're missing. The gatekeepers still exist. The gatekeepers are those who own the intellectual property for a given thing. You can have all the power in the world to create Mickey Mouse with AI. Disney will sue the living crap out of you if you do it.

Anyway, like I said, you can make AIs that don't use this data and will work just as well. While image AIs are going to be more difficult to make work well with open data, it is not hard for those datasets to be built (in particular by people photographing / videoing real life), in which case the gatekeepers will say "you can't even take a real life picture." The arguments against using free data that is available on the internet becomes really weak from that perspective.
