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 am not a lawyer. This is not a legal advice.

      I just want to note you here that ideas (in creations) alone are not subject to copyright (see: Wikipedia). (Ideas involving a particular invention can be subject to patents but Disney movie is not an invention, so this is not the case).

      This way, if you watch a movie, become inspired by it, and just take the idea of the story, and implement in your creation with different characters, then you should be fine. However, you cannot use the assets of that movie (original names, fashion, specific attributes of characters, scenery).

      At the end of the day, for such things, you may want to consult your advocate (a.k.a. lawyer). Court practice makes DOs and DON’Ts much clearer.
