Yeah, I think a creative commons style license makes sense and that was always my intent when posting things. However, when you post creative commons content, you do get to decide the restrictions (e.g. commercial or noncommercial).

I think its currently an open question how this applies to generative AI and LLMs. Perhaps the output of generative AI should retain the license of the training data? Or perhaps that is overly restrictive? There are those who believe that training commercial generative AI on data under permissive licenses is a problem.

I am not really sure where I stand on the overall issue. But the worst case scenario in my opinion is one where open source generative AI is hobbled by regulation paving the way for corporate control. My biggest fear about the Reddit API changes prevent anyone except Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, etc from using user comments as a training set.
