Why are you saying the cookie has crumbled, then citing a supposition about technology (AI detection vs other AI capabilities) and corporations? Again, this sounds very fatalistic, and frankly sad. There are plenty of other actors in this situation who could change the dynamic, including government and us collectively. This AI stuff could be legislated out of existence overnight with the flick of a pen, were the regulatory powers that be so inclined. The fact that AI exists in this form and has these particular effects it has is a consequence brought on by the planning of human beings, and that planning could be directed towards other ends. Acting like this is some kind of law of nature, as if it were gravity, is nonsense.
This is the same, capitalists stealing what they want and selling it back to us story that's played out in capitalist societies since capitalist societies first appeared. People thought that was inevitable before, and it's been stopped/altered before, countless times.
