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?

    The only way I see is to poison the data. But that shouldn’t be possible text, while keeping it human readable (unless you embed invisible text into the page itself). For pictures on the other hand you can use tools like nightshade.

      So for example, a writing platform may decline to provide user data and book data to AI data companies, and there still isn’t any known way to actually stop them?

        You can block the scrapers useragent, tho that won’t stop the ai companies with a “rapist mentality™”. Captchas and other anti-automation tools might also work.
