This is the problem people have

They don’t see artists and creators as worth protecting. They’d rather screw over every small creator and take away control of their works, just because “it’d be hard to train without copyrighted data”

Plenty of creators would opt in if given the option, but I’m going to guess a large portion will not.

I don’t want my works training what will replace me, and right now copyright is the only way we can defend what was made.

It's like nobody here actually knows someone who is actually creative or has bothered making anything creative themselves

I don't even have a financial interest in it because there's no way my job could be automated, and I don't have any chance of making any kind of money off my trash. I still wouldn't let LLMs train with my work, and I have a feeling that the vast majority of people would do the same
