AI isn't "any other tool", it's global reach, industrial scale "content generation" for any idiot.

The vast majority of lies aren't considered crimes, nor is it a crime to run spambot armies to sell shit, nor is accelerating the "dead internet theory", or spamming amazon listings with genai slop books.
