    What is this link in your posts? I’m reading the site but I don’t understand what it is really.

    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.

          You’re just like boomers on Facebook copy pasting a comment on their wall to say that Meta can’t monetize their data.

          If AI is trained on Lemmy content it will just scrub the site, convert it to raw text, chew the data and use it to spit out answers to stupid questions, your link will change fuck dick to that and even you are admitting that you don’t intend to do anything about it.

          The only way to make sure AI isn’t trained on what you’re writing is to have a journal that you share with no one.

            I was waiting for this one, and was surprised I hadn’t seen it so far in this latest conversation; it took a while for it to show up.

            I mean if attaching a Creative Commons license to your content is being a boomer, then yeah someone get me a walker to use, proudly.

            The Creative Commons people do some really good work.

                No, I get what you were trying to do, I just strongly disagree with it. Nice attempt to ‘Kill the Messenger’ though.

                So weird seeing ageism used as a weapon when we’re just talking about a link to a Creative Commons license.

                But like I said, some people get so bent out of shape over adding a link to their comment that points to a Creative Commons license. So weird.

                  I personally see it as spam. It’s no different than someone posting a link to a product on every comment. I don’t want to scroll through Lemmy and see LINK LINK LINK LINK LINK LINK. It’s annoying. This isn’t a personal attack on you, I know you have good intentions, it’s just how I see it.

                    I mean, it’s one line of text, just a link. Feel free to block me. 🤷‍♂️

                    People have had signatures in their comments for ages now, it’s not anything new.

                    You must have really hated the early days of online forums if you couldn’t handle repeating text and signatures.

                    You’ll forgive me if I try to protect my rights against those who would use my content to earn income, that they do not share with me, and in ways that I may not agree with.
