the corporations rich enough to pay for the licensing or lucky enough to already have the rights to a trove of source material

Oh, don't worry about them. Start-ups can get VC funding to pay for the licenses. Eventually we all pay. The likes of Sam Altman can get rich. The venture capitalists can get rich. All while the heirs of the NYT or Getty empires get richer still. Everyone will be rich. Except us, of course. It's very ethical. We all want ethical AI and that means capitalist AI.
