Shitty useless pictures each costing kilowatt hours.

I mean, machine learning and AI does have benefits especially in research in the medical field. The consumer AI products are just stupid though.

It's help me learn coding, Spanish, and helped me build scripts of which I would never have been able to do by myself or with technical works alone.

If we're talking specifically about the value I get out of what Gpt is right now, its priceless to me. Like my second, albeit braindead, systems administrator on my shoulder when I need something I don't want to type out myself. And what ever mistakes it makes is within my abilities to repair on my own without fighting for it.

AI didn't do that. It stole all the information for free on the internet from people who tried to help others and make money of it.

Have you ever used Google translate or apps that identify bugs/plants/songs? AI is used in products you most likely use every week.

You are also arguing for a closed garden system where companies like reddit and Getty get to dictate who can make models and at what price.

Individual are never getting a dime out of this. In a perfect world, governments would be fighting for copyleft licenses for anything using big data but every law being proposed is meant to create a soft monopoly owned by Microsoft and Google and kill open-source.
