You gotta hone in on what is specifically new with AI.

That AI can do much of the work asked of every other person you mentioned combined, and it'll be as fast as you can ask it to do things. That seems new with AI and will improve.

I agree with your point about the training set's millions of consentless works online, just recognizing people have been inspired by works without their consent before...so to your point, what's different with AI? Do the artists that inspired in such a way need to be alive with an estate for this to be wrong, or is it still wrong if it's pulling from a playwright in public domain like Shakespeare?

You say AI doesn't challenge that definition and title of a playwright, but right now the poll is almost 2:1 against this particular example as not okay for a playwright to do. Theatres have recently been releasing their submission guidelines with rules about not accepting plays with any computer assistance. That's a lot of pushback against what you think you are and do. It's a new age with new responsibilities, and I'm curious where this is all going to land.
