>sure but it would be nice if AI paid it's fair share in many different ways for humans keeping it relevant

Oh that's coming, don;t you worry, the legislative part just hasn't caught up with the LLM business yet since none of them are making much profit yet so there's nothing you can shake out of them yet

What I mean by this is, in many EU countries, the unions of creative artist have lobbied the government to make us pay a "piracy tax" on all storage devices sold in the country, from blank CDs and HHDs to SSDs and mobile phones with EMMC/NAND. The same thing will happen with AI companies, once they become profitable enough, they'll force the consumers subscription prices to include an extra tax that will go back to the major rights holder part of the unions.

Sure and we as developers can vibe code other systems / ways to ensure we get paid for keeping AI relevant.

SW developers don't have the union bargaining power the music and arts industry has. At least not where I live.
