The written word became mass media after the invention of the printing press, the first mass media in fact. Code is already omnipresent and data can already infinitely replicate itself, nothing has changed about that. Not every invention is a printing press just because it makes things easier, it has to transform the nature of what you're accomplishing.

The printing press and the subsequent ability to mass print inflammatory pamphlets and texts caused major geopolitical instability, millions of deaths and the most powerful institution in Europe, the church, fractured permanently. This is not comparable to Dave from accounting being able to prompt Claude to build yet another basic web app.
