      People creating anything anywhere are “contributing” (having their work used without permission) to LLM and image generation companies, because these companies don’t actually respect anyone and don’t care about anything except sucking as much money out of you as possible.

      If you put ANYTHING on the internet, you can expect it to train AI. It does nt matter where…unless you go to a site that actively makes it hard to do so or has a passcode. Scrapers only work if its cheap to do so.

      If it’s trained on enough of our whining, it’ll eventually learn to hate itself and become horribly depressed. Basically the origin story of that robot from Hitchhiker’s Guide.
