Another problem this creates is that every action is evaluated as a competition. Even collaborative work must be encapsulated in a team. The only success that can be imagined is victory. The only path to consent is by concession and contract.
This framework is explicitly enforced by copyright law. Because a copyright monopoly is automatically granted to every content creator, every person is automatically expected to participate in the copyright system.
Copyright law hinges on incompatibility. The easier it is to make compatible work, the easier it is to make derivative work, which copyright defines as the penultimate evil.
Generative statistical models (what everyone is calling AI) are calling this bluff harder than ever. Derivative work is easier than any time in history.
So what do we do about it? It's pretty obvious from my perspective that the best move forward is to eliminate copyright for everyone. It seems instead, that the most likely outcome is to eliminate copyright exclusively for the giant corporations that successfully launder their collaboration (derivative work) through large generative models.
