So they can train openai on your comments? No thanks. Its done for good IMO.

The AI companies will do that shit on Lemmy also. At least there isn't a far-right Nazi getting money on our user generated content tho, unlike reddit.

The profiteering and shitting on the community is what got me to remove my content and account. As an owner of the platform, they cant have it both ways.

They're going to do that regardless, they'll just scrape instead of using the API.

I want an open API so I can use third party apps. I'm totally fine with them requiring an API token or something with a sensible rate limit to limit abuse by parties like openai (they'll have to go through a sales contract).

The fediverse is an excellent place to find training data for AIs. I would just set up a bot that follows a bunch of people and let them send their data to me, then I don’t even need to bother with scraping.

The fediverse arguably has more bots, just not trying to hide the fact
