I'm still waiting for somebody to give me a symmetry breaker between AI training on existing media and humans creating media from what they've seen, such that one is theft and the other is not.

The asymmetry is legal I'd say. If I tried to scrap that much data, especially if it included anything about a rich person, I'd be arrested and probably never see daylight again.

At the moment AI is less creative and more derivative, but it could be in par or better in the future.

The bigger issue is that we're living in a world that has a lot of artificial scarcity and people still have to work to survive, and AI is taking away many of the only jobs that make life worth living while doing it worse but also a lot cheaper.
