It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of how you automatically have copyright on any written work you produce, and how it’s unclear whether any sort of licensing even applies to training data in the US.

For what its worth, I do understand copyright, and how it works. Part of my including the link is for futures sake, as I know that right now as we speak type Congress is getting lobbied for new laws on who owns the content that AI models are being trained from, and who has to pay who for the privledge of using that data to do so.

    I don't understand what you are trying to say.

    Congress is getting lobbied for new laws on who owns the content that AI models are being trained from

    Training AI from something definitely can't change who owns that thing. This is ridiculous and I'm pretty sure isn't being considered.

    If I let AI watch Frozen does that change who owns it? No Disney still does.

    who has to pay who for the privledge of using that data

    IIUC most of the laws talk about if AI training is "fair use". If it is fair use copyright protections don't apply. But granting a license to your work won't change that.

    The only thing I could see potentially being done would be changing the default copyright protections to allowed a revocable default grant for AI training. But it isn't even clear if granting a new license would implicitly revoke that default grant. It also seems unlikely that this is the way the law would work.
