Is there no way to protect data against AI harvesting? (slrpnk.net)

For the most part I've been optimistic when it comes to the future of AI, in the sense that I convinced myself that this was something we could learn to manage over time, but every single time I hop online to platforms besides fediverse-adjacent ones, I just get more and more depressed.

I have stopped using major platforms and I don't contribute to them anymore, but as far as I've heard no publically accessible data - even in the fediverse - is safe. Is that really true? And is there no way to take measures that isn't just waiting for companies to decide to put people, morals and the environment over profit?

By the way, isn't the whole point of Pinterest, to pin other people's copyrighted images from other places of the web and make them accessible from within the platform? To me that whole business model sounds similar to what AI companies do. Take other people's content and make an own product out of it.

Yeah the monetization is what brought this downfall in the first place. It's definitely not the same as AI, it's sharing pre-existing work and unlike most platforms, with credit directly to the artist's socials or webstores and was especially good for fashion designers and artist-sellers (though that also started going downhill since it got overtaken by dropshippers). I looked up online and found alternatives already such as cosmos.so which includes user owned media, not just reposting, but my issue came with then protecting said media from being scraped by AI en masse
