For decades now, RIAA/MPAA/SPA lobbyists

They now have an opposition which might have the $$$ and will to fight against copyright: AI lobbyists. The world's richest man owns an AI company. As AI makes people realise just how much everything is a derivative work, and remixes of this nature become easier, I suspect the whole concept of IP is going to change dramatically and more people will question its necessity.

or doesn't abolish all IP rights

While that might not happen fully, AI might be the catalyst driving things in that direction.

american ai companies are hypocrites on that front. they want copyright to not exist when it's them using copyrighted material, but afterwards they fight tooth and nail to enforce their own.

otherwise there is no moat and all that fortune that you envision them spending on anti-IP lobbying would not exist in the first place.

		Yep. Now that they've bootstrapped their businesses on 'Free IP', they're happy to pull up the ladder to stop new competition from having the same advantage. While they don't like paying IP lawsuit settlements of a few billion here and there, AI leaders can raise gobs of capital now and the silver-lining is those settlements are setting a high barrier to entry.
