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 In addition to what @davidrevoy said, NOAI is a problem because it's an opt-out: Anyone not using it is presumed opted-in.

Accepting a NOAI tag means conceding that literally everything that *doesn't* have the tag is fair game for the scrapers. And it's not fair to artists, especially ones with huge bodies of work, to make them go and tag each and every work with a new NO[whatever] every time a new exploitative technology comes out.

@Linebyline @davidrevoy uhhhhhh, i did not think about this...so we need AI tag instead.

@ms_zwiebel @davidrevoy Exactly! The point of a license is to show what you *are* willing to share, with all other rights being reserved.
