Generative AI is inherently a political issue, its not surprising at all.
There is the case of what is "truth". As soon as you start to ensure some quality of truth to what is generated, that is political.
As soon as generative AI has the capability to take someone's job, that is political.
The instant AI can make someone money, it is political.
When AI is trained on something that someone has created, and now they can generate something similar, it is political.

What is political is people enshrining themselves in chokepoints and demanding a toll for passing through or getting anything done. That is what you do when you make a certain job politically 'untakable'.
People who espouse that the 'personal is political' risk making the definition of politics so broad that it is useless.
