What is this link in your posts? I’m reading the site but I don’t understand what it is really.
It’s a stupid trend where people think they are somehow liberating their comments from being used in training by AI.
Spoiler alert, it doesn’t work. And even if it did, no one actually cares about your comment about (checks thread) people NOT playing a video game.
Well that’s dumb
Why?
What’s wrong with attaching a Creative Commons license to your comments?
So strange how some people get really bent out of shape seeing it.
If someone is going to use my content to build their AI model and train their bots, then I want compensation for it.
I just think it’s silly that people think it actually works.
Besides, if AI really is powerful enough to make a splash in the world, wouldn’t you WANT it to contain your data? That would make it more favorable to your viewpoints.
It might seem silly to most but all it takes for something to become real is for the public to demand it. And if those in power won’t help, oust them.
At least this person demands something novel and positive for the user. What is fiction today can become reality tomorrow.
Seems harmless at worst and positive at best.
The equivalent of this but for nerds and it’s just as effective
Hell, they can’t even be bothered to self host so they can at least pretend to have some kind of ownership over what they share on Lemmy and they admit to not having any plan to actually check if their data is used by AI companies, that’s how ridiculous this is.

I’m licensing my comments with a Creative Commons license, so that if anyone wants to use them to train their AI models/bots with, they have to at the very least give citation to that.
I’m hoping it’s a way of deterring bot activity on my comments. It’s something that I saw someone else doing, so I decided to emulate it, since it’s just a simple copy and paste, and if it works, it’s worth the momentary paste.
Plus it’s really interesting that its gotten a lot of positive and negative feedback. Some people really get bent out of shape seeing it being there, and others just have a natural curiosity about it. So it’s kind of interesting to see that as well, just by using it.
How are you going to prove your data was used?
Honestly, I wasn’t going to worry about that, I’m just doing a quick copy and paste, and moving on. If it works, it works.
I’m making the assumption that any AI model building developer who sees the license notation would honor the the Creative Commons license. We software developers usually care about those things, especially the open source style protecting ones.
Otherwise I will just wait for years from now when Congress creates new disclosure legislation. Companies are already starting to get pissed off at each other about who’s paying who, and who’s using what content to program their AI models with, and they find out who those other people are that is using their content. I’m pretty sure lobbying efforts are on going right now, and legislation will come out soon enough.
After that legislation exists, I can go back to all my comments and sue the companies, once those AI model building companies have to disclose their data source. I’m retired, I have time on my hands.
