Considerations for AI Opt-Out

Creating a Large Language Model (LLM) requires a lot of data – as implied by the name, LLMs need voluminous input data to be able to function well. Much of that content comes from the Internet, and early models have been seeded by crawling the whole Web.

This now widespread practice of ingestion without consent is contentious, to put it mildly. Content creators feel that they should be compensated for providing this input data, or at least have a choice about whether it is used; AI advocates caution that without easy access to input data, their ability to innovate will be severely limited.
