"all you have to do is either explicitly disallow the things you produce from being included in AI training datasets, set some platform setting that does this for you, or get off the platform altogether if it does not give you this freedom". This sounds like a case of deep ignorance about how power structures work. I'm reminded of people posting on facebook, like, "I refuse permission to facebook to use my data for.. whatever", and thinking that they legally have that choice, and expressing it in this fashion does anything. All my books are scanned and online as files. I didn't decide that, the publisher did. It's in my interest, as it spreads them. It also removes them from my control, which is what publishing essentially IS. I have no control how someone consumes it, reads it, interprets it, and in the end, I have no control over what system scans the texts and for what purposes. And any large corporation will take the risk of having to fork over a few millions (pennies) in settlements if there's ever a case if the think the benefit outweighs this (legal, but actually accouting) risk. On top of that, the whole thing of generative AI is that you can't actually control what it uses, when and how. It's literally out of control once activated.
