AI renders [Rawls’ and Nozick’s] disagreement moot by violating the premise they shared. When your talents become training data harvested without consent, when your creative work becomes parameters in a model, you’re being used as a pure instrument. Not for social benefit (Rawls’s concern) and not with your voluntary consent (Nozick’s requirement). You’re raw material extracted for someone else’s capital accumulation.
