Dear @creativecommons ,

I read your article about your initiative for new licenses for dataset holders in the AI industry.

Let’s be clear: I do not want to re-license my hundreds of CC-By comic pages to please AI giants.

I wish you would support CC artists suffering from massive plagiarism. You should enforce your own existing licenses against AI mass crawling. It seems you’ve joined the battle only after the casualties and still managed to side with the wrong people.

@davidrevoy @creativecommons i might misunderstand this: Isn't this more about creating a way to express an artists terms towards using their work for ai? Meaning just like i can select a CC with -BY- i should be able to select something like -NOAI- or only non commercial AI.... give more control and make it very clear what's allowed and what isn't? I would like that... Making sure my work is open for humans and not for ai. I would also imagine such an ai specific license would make legal battles a lot easier... just some thoughts.

@ms_zwiebel @creativecommons Unfortunately, there is no mention of a 'no AI' rule... quite the opposite, in fact. You can read the four drafts by following the links here: https://github.com/creativecommons/cc-signals?tab=readme-ov-file#cc-signals-1

It's just an attempt to reinvent CC-By, but written 'for AI', so it's modern instead of enforcing their own legacy CC-By. There's also the promise of breadcrumbs for artists in the form of financial contributions, but it's the AI giants who decide who gets how much in good faith, lol. It cannot work.

GitHub - creativecommons/cc-signals: CC signals is a framework for a simple pact between those stewarding data, and those reusing it for AI development. CC signals provide a set of shared ground rules for an AI ecosystem that is mutually beneficial.

@davidrevoy @creativecommons ahhh i only read the post from them not the drafts, sorry. If there is no special options to disallow or set rules for AI use i agree... i will check out the draft to get an idea...

@ms_zwiebel @creativecommons Yes, I'm curious to see how this draft will evolve. Hopefully they'll realise that a NOAI tag would be a welcome addition to the BY/SA/NC/ND family. But we can let them know this, can't we? 🙂
