It could be argued that when our tax code, laws, and constitution were created there weren't AIs taking jobs and funneling the economy to only a few people breaking the system and it's time for us to adapt as a society. But I know adapting isn't a strength of our legal system.

Also, you wouldn't be suing the AI as it's own entity. You would be suing the creator/owner that is allowing it to steal people's content. AI is not to the point it is sentient and responsible for it's own actions.

That's actually a great argument: an AI is trained without permission on the result of people's labor, and is thus able to intercept the need for this labor and take away financial opportunities derived thereof. Therefore, An AI's labor and its profit could be argued to contain, in the percentage that an AI is the content of its training, a portion that is proportionately belonging to those who did this labor its obscure process is based on. Therefore, an AI's master should take a portion of its revenue as royalties and distribute them to the "people's council" which in this case is just the government, for it to redistributed accordingly.
