Generative AI is a technology that is not only destroying our environment already heavily impacted by previous human choices (see the wildfires in Europe for what kind of damage climate change did), but also is destroying several fields of work due to that sort of decision.
No creator, small or big, that pours time and resources into their content will agree to have their voice, image and creation used to train a technology that has zero positive usage in reality.
The only option is to abandon the idea of using our content to train Gen AI. No opt-out by default, no optional. Gone, and never mentioned ever again, as should GenAI be.
