You're looking at this from a 1900's lens.

The world of the future doesn't have IP. You ask an advanced AI to create a world from scratch and it will.

Now fill in the blanks between here and now. Why would every invocation involve paying Sonny Bono's estate?

Humans are another good analogy. If these machines will begin to approximate us, maybe the rules for them should be similar.

We don't need to pay a licensing fee every time we write stories about evil characters, despite the fact many of us learned about evil from watching Disney villains on screen.

This is a bold prediction, and far from certain

There are many competing nations. If one can outlaw artificial scarcity, they will grow so much faster than the others that eventually they will take over.

I predict we will either have a world without Intellectual Property or we will have a global government that enforces Intellectual Property laws.

I'm convinced the future will have IP, that the IP houses will use AI to generate an infinite number of properties, copyright them, and use them to rob blind any creator daring enough to try something ;p

With all due respect but this sounds far fetched to put it mildly.
