I just wish there was some way to have a web site open to the public without having its contents used to train AI models. That threat has basically removed the web as a means for me to share and connect with people over common interests.

Honest question, why does it matter? If we exclude ClosedAI, wouldn't an open source LLM trained on real web data benefit everyone?

[JohnFen]

It matters a great deal to me because I think that LLMs present an unacceptable societal risk. I want nothing to do with helping to improve them, even a little, because I view that as harming people.

Whether or not it's open source (and whether or not it's OpenAI doing it) doesn't affect the problems I have with it.

How do you square that with regularly commenting on an easily crawlable website?
