I think it's possible that in the end, AI will make everyone wealthier nevertheless. Just like people today posses the level of conveniences unimaginable to the elites of the past, in the form of smartphones, global delivery, cheap flights, instant access to information, etc. Being able to afford an unlimited, available 24/7 health-related consultation for $20/mo is also wealth and so is being able to single-handedly create an app that would otherwise require a team of 10.

Also, it seems to be that information that is helpful just doesn't like to be contained. Comparing with StackOverflow, its popularity didn't make developers less likely to participate in the community. Instead it made programming more approachable to a much larger pool of people and more software were created, which made our life easier. If something is intended to be used only for consumption (media) it tend to say closed. But if something can become a building block for others, people generally seem to want it to spread.
