Is there a creative commons or other open access art license that prevents it from being used to train AI? (lemmy.ml)

I really don't want my photos, writings, etc to be used for things like StableDiffusion or ChatGPT, but some of them I still want to release under an open access license that's free for others to use in conventional derivative works, just specifically not AI. Does such a license exist?

Or at the very least, if my work is to be used to train AI, then I think the final models and neural networks themselves need to be open source and also free for anyone to use (as in, people should be able to download and run the AI on their own computer, not have to use the company's web app. Does CC-BY-SA protect against this since it requires that any derivative works also be released under the same license? Does it work like GPL in that regard?

I don't think the legal protections will be effective to prevent AIs from being trained on your works, because the data sets used to train the models are scraped from art sharing websites and it won't be possible to identify that your art was part of the training set, legally or not. A better way is to use a tool like Glaze, which modifies your artwork so it looks the same to a human viewer but introduces errors when fed to an AI model.
