    I wouldn’t have a problem with all this scraping, if these companies had to release their models trained on this data as open source.

      That’s a great idea. Can we not apply a license to that social content that forces AI models trained on it to be open source?

        That’s actually pretty good. And then they’re open to getting sued when caught.

        I guess it could be done on an instance basis, although I’m not sure how happy fediverse users will be if their instance has an official policy of open-sourcing (or maybe it’s public-domaining?) all their content by default.

          Well, such a license could just obligat to open source the AI model that has been trained on it. If the instance prohibits training of AI models, or allow it, would be a separate condition that’s up to the instance owner, and its users can decide if they want to contribute under that condition, or not.
