With AI scraping everything, would it make sense to add copyright notices to comments on the fediverse? CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 Deed (programming.dev)

Artists have complained about their artwork being stolen, people are arguing about threads.net stealing their data on despite this being a public forum, Reddit, Twitter, Github and other platforms are putting up walls to to stop AI bots from scraping everything.

However generative AI and large language models have been been spitting out their training data including copyright notices and other stuff verbatim. "poem poem poem to get personal data from ChatGPT".

So, instead of providing all our comments for free to LLMs, how about adding a copyright notice to everything we write?

I propose the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license? Basically, if somebody uses your comment, they have to attribute you, but they may not use it for commercial purposes.

This license requires that reusers give credit to the creator. It allows reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, for noncommercial purposes only. If others modify or adapt the material, they must license the modified material under identical terms.

All you'd need to do is add this text CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 Deed anywhere in your comment or post.

And how would this be enforced?

That's the thing, it has to be detected first. One of the only ways to do so is by letting the model reveal its training data and finding copyrighted stuff in there - the smoking gun. As one of my links describes, that has already been done (see the poem poem poem link).

You would need a place to take that smoking gun first.

Aren't they called courts?

Which ones take these cases? If they are in a different country how does that work?

I'm not a legal expert 🤷 CC BY-NC-SA 4.0

If I ever get to the point where I find out my words have been regurgitated by an AI and I care enough to want to sue them for it, I'll find a legal expert to help me with it.
