The rest of us who want to share with humanity will keep sharing with humanity. The worst case imo is that artists, writers, scientists, and open source developers cannot take full advantage of the latest advancements in tech to make more and better art, writing, science, and software. We cannot let humanity’s creative potential be held hostage by anyone.

You're not talking about sharing it with humanity, you're talking about feeding it into an AI. How is this holding back the creative potential of humanity? Again, you're talking about feeding and training a computer with this material.

Sharing it with humanity implies feeding it into AI, because if the general public has access to it then some human somewhere will feed it into an AI. Those who want to avoid having their works fed into AI will have to keep it hidden from humanity at large.

Humans are already using AI for all sorts of creative purposes. To crimp AI by artificially limiting the amount of data it can train on would be harming the ability of humans to use AI to output their fullest creative potential.
