How AI Browsers Sneak Past Blockers and Paywalls

tl;dr The browser itself is now a reader of what it browses and effects something like archive.ph.

The term 'copy' is now as meaningless as the term 'idea'--the device makes copies in the same sense that the reader's mind makes copies, or rather if you look at all the ways that computing devices work by copying, which is essential and ubiquitous to every computer's most basic functioning, there's no longer any discernible point of copy 'rights' outside of silos of access enforced by sworn secrecy, which secrecy is antithetical to the social values of publishing which copyright was designed to encourage.

The implications are staggering. Try to imagine a discourse that can address this. The staggering morphs into the horrifying when you imagine that AI will be used as the source of the needed discourse.
