All it would take for AI to completely collapse is a ruling in the US saying these companies have to licence the content they used to train these tools.
They simply would never reach a sustainable business model if they had to fairly compensate all the people who wrote, drew, edited, sang or just created the content they use.
Simply being forced to respect attribution and licenses would kill them. Will that ruling ever happen? Maybe not. Should it? I think so.
Big companies when they see someone using their 57 years old 2 second long sound effect: GO TO JAIL
Big companies stealing every bit of creative content from the internet without permission from the small creators: 
@thelinuxEXP Ironically, US copyright law punish people for making derivatives, but somehow AI companies are exempted.
"First, the derivative work has protection under the copyright of the original work. Copyright protection for the owner of the original copyright extends to derivative works. This means that the copyright owner of the original work also owns the rights to derivative works." - LegalZoom (22 MAR 2023)
