I'm concerned multiple ways by this, but I also could see some positive fallout from this, if it sets precedents that help protect 'content' owners from AI goldrush companies just taking everything.

AI companies are the least of our worries in the Reddit situation. The fact that Reddit has full control of user-generated data to do as they please gives them freedom to do as they please. I think this is the crux of today's issue.
AI companies like Google, Microsoft and OpenAI have deep pockets to 'unprotect' themselves from anything. The barrier to entry is for small AI companies and those aren't really making an impact currently.
