I think it is always important to extend Lorde's quote here in full: "For the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change." So even though AI might not be able to bring about genuine change, it is still an important part of the struggle for alternatives to temporarily beat the masters at their own game! This is imo the real heritage of cut-up, détournement, etc.
