There's actually an interesting perverse incentive here. A group of politically motivated actors (perhaps funded by a government or private interests) could create content with the sole purpose of opting in to all the AI data harvesting feeds. That way they could bias the output to their cause (assuming the AI company doing the training does take active measures to counter it).

I would assume that's happening regardless, platforms like Reddit are already selling their data firehoses to AI companies, so anyone who manages to slip propaganda bots under Reddits radar will end up having their talking points fed into future AI training sets.

Payment is out of the question - too much of a hassle. What is likely is websites either requiring you allow ai training in exchange for hosting your content, or giving some minor perk/incentive for it.

Consider this comment itself. How much do you think it is worth for an AI company? Maybe 0.00001 dollars? How would you handle the logistics of money that little money?

This comment neatly explains why the LLM bubble will burst as soon as prosecutors remember that the DMCA doesn't have a carve-out for AI.
