Sorry, I just can't stop noticing there's a huge contradiction in what you're saying. If Generative AI companies are "stealing labor", then what you said about "Generative AI will not and cannot, in any meaningful way, drive a general reduction of the number of working hours demanded of workers, both because the technology cannot serve that function" cannot logically be true. If human labor is "stolen" to improve efficiency and productivity by way of better automation technology, and if this has been once again done with Generative AI - with the particularity that this time we are talking about a general purpose technology -, then we cannot reach the conclusion you reached.

In other words, if Generative AI cannot be purposedly used as an automation technology, then the whole conversation about "stealing" becomes nonsense rhetorics.
