To actually change the real world in this regard, at least in the US, there will need to be arguments to cross many hurdles, such as to convince a majority of congressmen, and inevitably many judges when it get’s challenged. And probably even beyond since the USG has ratified most of WIPO, which it can’t unilaterally change.
Inevitably there will have to be convincing legal arguments or else this won’t get far enough for it to practically matter.
If you don’t have any right now, maybe try focusing your efforts on coming up with some?
Copyright law doesn’t protect scientific facts so progress is able to be made, and it probably doesn’t protect authors and artists, so data inefficient AI can be trained.

How do you know the ‘dead weight loss in creative output’ outweighs the positive effects in the first place?
It doesn’t seem obvious at all to me if there are no such arguments put forward.
