I'm also very hesitant to release any new works (code, artworks, etc.) to the public. I usually release code under the GPL or AGPL, but I don't think any of those choices are properly respected by the AI crawlers, and subsequent "mixing into" those models. Multiple times I got partially broken "citations" of GPL licensed code out of the models as answers to basic research questions (aka prompts) w/o any mentioning of the original license applied to the code. Just adding some random bugs every 10th line doesn't make it not a direct derivate. Image generators happily generated Sonics or Bart Simpsons (w/o directly prompting for that either). No mentions that those are copyrighted characters either. |

I mostly make things because I felt they should be made. I am fine with what I produce being used by others provided they don't take it away from anyone else.
I was never very happy with the selfishness of the GPL, which is why I tended to prefer MIT, but the stances taken by people in recent years made me realise that nobody owns ideas, and even attribution is commoditised.
I am ok with voluntary attribution so that it may be used as a means to confirm additional information. I don't like the idea that if I think of something, someone else is not allowed to think about it without my permission.
Citation farming is a problem that happened because the value of the idea was placed on the names attached to it. That generated motivation to attach names to ideas as a way to gain power or prestige. To take credit for someone else's idea can only occur is because people have put the credit value onto the person and not the idea. Many of those names are of no use when it comes to verifying if the idea is sound, it's creating a denial of service attack on the ability to validate.
I understand the realities of commerce and academia that put these things in place, and how those who work within those frameworks have to do so in a way that is compatible with them.
I don't like it though, I think it makes the world less informed and less free. I don't have to create under those frameworks myself, so I made the decision to make any idea I have to not be bound to my will or identity.
