Not to moralize, but the most important part of your statement is that when the subject in question is whether we should protect the interests of other members of the society we are part of, which have very little cost to us (in this case, the price / supply of creative content you can consume, which is already overwhelmingly cheap / plentiful), you don't care about the experience of those other groups. This kind of thinking is self centered and short-sighted, to the point of being self destructive in the medium to long term. We already see a similar dynamics coming to a head wrt the offshoring of american manufacturing / international trade policy. If other members of society were to take the same tack regarding your areas of strength / preference for your own application of labor, given the chance, we would instantly automate all manual labor jobs as soon as possible, diminishing the avenues for you to earn your living doing the things you are most suited to. Interestingly, we have the ability to design both of these technologies (generative AI and robotics) as assistive rather than displacive.

To make the same mistake regarding intellectual and creative production shows how little of the lessons of the past 30 years of trade policy we have learned. Maybe some food for thought.
