Serious question, as someone who recently started writing: • How do you guys feel about your thoughts, ideas and creativity being scraped and secretly added to the training corpus of AI models?
Advice to use substack, medium and a few others similar. No point hosting a blog or anything of the sort, unnecessary effort in the beginning when you don't know if you'll continue.
Many people don't like using the platforms.
They're obviously parasites.
It's not very complicated to do yourself.

what the gp is getting at is that back in the day there were people who wanted to be in a band not out of any particular musical talent or even inclination but because a lot of their friends were doing it and it looked like a cool thing to do.
Ronnie Coleman put it succinctly: “Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy-ass weights.”

Don't care, although in the old days I declared a CC BY (attribution) license[1] on my blog. The fact many of these models cannot do basic attribution-- this is a very serious shortcoming, that potentially may affect the availability of fair use.

Serious shortcoming indeed.
I know it is stupid but I care.
I'm over 50 and my eyes are not quite what they used to be. Your 12pt (ish) text is largely legible to me but why do you insist on your idea of presentation, rather than mine?
The whole point of the www as far as I recall is that you send a message and I receive it. How it is formatted should largely be a matter for the recipient, with some hints from the sender.

Pleased. One of my main motivations in writing open source software is to create training data for future sentient things. I felt that way decades before LLMs. I am as proud to know my code ended up in training datasets as I am to know that my human students took a little away from the classes I've taught.

You can’t worry about it. It’s the world we live in now. The alternative is to not write anything of significance on the internet, which would be of no benefit to anyone.

I wonder if any noticeable group of people are retreating to paper journals or letter circles again. Probably not, but you never know.
There speaks someone who has never spent time writing poetry, and probably isn't very good at editing.
