It's a bit worse, because in the case of mass surveillance, they can't just make their own law, they need to make that law and have 2/3rds of US states sign off on a constitutional amendment.

Aiding someone while you know they're trying to break the law is conspiracy to break the law. OpenAI is culpable. You can't sue the government in many cases, but you can with OpenAI.

In reality it's not that hard for them to work around the constitution e.g. by buying data from private companies

you're right, and those companies are traitors. But even then, I'm pretty sure they can't buy data enmasse to target a large number of americans without reason, but they could get around it by saying it's "just analysis of data", but they can only get around it that way because the judges are bought and paid for. When it suits them they interpret the constitution in the spirit it was written, when it doesn't according to the specific letters. The wording is clear on this:

"""

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

"""

It doesn't matter how the right of the people to be secure against searches and seizures is implemented. If the government manages to cause that, they're in violation. For other amendments it is written with wording like "congress shall not" indicating the restriction is on the government, preventing it from doing specific things. In this case, any violation of search and seizure is unlawful.
