doesn't matter we won't do anything about it and big cooperations have to make money.

Big corporations are fueling the concern. The more restrictions that come out on it, the harder it is for small and open source developers to join in.

Legislations just widen their moat, nothing else.

So, you think without legislations small businesses could stand their ground?

Most legislation being pushed seems to concern the use of scraped copyrighted material in the training data. There is no open source software like stable diffusion and the llama llm if this data becomes unavailable to them. This would put companies like google, microsoft and adobe at an insane advantage since they already own all that data.

Some specific legislations then? Would be worth pointing them out. I'm no expert in the topic and I doubt most people here are. Your statement makes you seem against legislating it at all.

I just haven't seen any talk of legislation that wouldn't harm the small players and us, the consumers.

I'd like to see legislation so the windfall profits from AI (and our economy in general) is shared more equally. Stifling AI directly is just bad news imo.

Checks out, most people are usually late to the game.
