The surge in anti-AI clauses reminds me of robots.txt, albeit with more (gnashing of) teeth. But robots.txt mostly served to entrench Google and Bing, and frustrated attempts to build Common Crawl (a project that's also in the crossfire now!) I'm concerned that like with robots.txt, these clauses will end up centralizing who has access to the training corpus, more than it will meaningfully restrict what the corpus is used for. I'm sure Google already had a license to train ML models on the Google Books corpus, and that they've fed it all into Bard. I'm sure Google's more than happy to be the trusted, sole custodian of these datasets.
