Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments?

I dislike it but merely because it normalizes having to sign content with an anti commercialization license to refuse to have your data harvested. Contributing to AI should be opt-in.

Please let your House Representative know that.
I too would prefer not having to add the license/link to each of my comments. Though if Lemmy.World added a ‘signature’ field to an account, I could just put it there once and be done with it.
You don’t need to license each of your comments. By default you retain all ownership. So you applying a license is strictly allowing more use. Basically if AI training was not allowed due to copyright than they can’t use any comment by default. If AI training is fair-use (which seems to be most companies’ claim) then it is irrelevant how you have licensed the comment.
In no situation does granting an additional license to a work restrict the ways in which works can be used under other licenses.

Or different use. I like to be explicit with how my content is to be used.
No, it is more. You aren’t restricting anything, it is just a superset of uses. If you want to explicitly license your comments for wider use that is fine, but don’t misrepresent it as “Anti Commercial-AI”. Just frame it as licensed for non-commercial use.

I agree it should be opt in but most platforms take ownership of your words as soon as they are submitted allowing the platform to decide if they want to sell the data for ai.

Lemmy.World does not (at least I didn’t see that in the TOS).
