Society is built on copying. Nearly everything humanity does, all of our culture, all of our memes, our language, or alphabet, or behaviors are copied from other people.
Every single one of these ideas I've heard on pay for data on AI could be turned around and used on corporations, and if so, individuals in the US. I've not seen one yet that would not reverse the situation and turn in to a corporation buying up as much IP as possible and turning into, yes, rent seeking.
If some company makes a zillion dollars with AI then tax the living shit out of them and distribute the gains as UBI. If the future is going to AGI the idea that humans will have enough interesting to come up with to actually support themselves seems like a very unlikely premise anyway.
