Blogging in the AI era (lazysoci.al)

Is it possible to blog in the AI era?

I write short stories every now and then and I throw them online. I also have a tech blog, where I moan about the decisions software I use make and with my "infinite wisdom", I tell them what they should be doing instead.

I used to host both on Medium, but Medium got greedy. Then it was WordPress, but now even they're trying to be greedy bastards and use my shit for training AI.

Some would argue that WordPress paid hosting will exempt me from the AI training, but for less than 100 visitors a year, it's not really worth the expense.

So what is the solution? I ask the greater minds of this community for suggestions.

Privacy? You lose your privacy the moment you publish your blog anyway.

Oh, right, I'm gonna just reinstall facebook on the phone because I've lost everything... Oh and we have lost all of privacy by commenting on the internet and stepping out of the house! All resistance is futile! We need to close this community before people waste more of their time!

This is not at all how it works. How would you lose privacy if you only publish what you want to publish? It's entirely your decision what to include in your blog post.

You're right, but I was talking specifically about blogs.
