My simple understanding of the idea is it forces AI companies to have to avoid taking those comments. If they did, they would need to provide attribution to the sources etc.

Time will tell if it works

If they even notice it, they will say that the website TOS is the relevant license.

Eirher way, they will just go ahead and use it. None of us have the resources or perseverance to take them to court in a meaningful way.

Does Lemmy World’s TOS state that I do not own the content that I upload to their site?

It says nothing, so you have copyright on it.

Adding a restrictive license to it only means as much as you’re willing and able to police it yourself and take others to court.

As an individual, for individual comments of two sentences each, this is not an option.

My content is usually more than a sentence or two.

Also, it puts a stake in the ground for any future enforcement done by others than myself if laws change.

Its a low-hanging-fruit way of protecting my content. If it works, great, and if it doesn’t, then I’ll vote for someone else for Congress the next time.

I’ve wasted more time replying on this single conversation/post than I have copy/pasting the link in all of my comments so far.
