That's how copyright works, but the courts have sided against your copyright in this area, it would take a new law to give it back. Congress needs to say, "this precedent is wrong, you have a copyright to your data and ChatGPT is a massive infringer, way worse than the internet archive would be if it gave away free books." If the world was perfect we would reduce copyright terms to twenty to thirty years and allow training AIs on public domain text... solving the human learning (free books relevant to today!) and AI learning issues in one step. Sadly the people on the inside want to take everything and leave us with nothing so we will probably get a hodgepodge of laws, a philosophical system no one can explain, and a seriously nonuniform landscape of compromises. Don't interpret this as defeatism, just as pointing out where the ball is heading if nobody catches it. If you want one takeaway from my comment, don't let them train AI on text you are not allowed, yourself, to read.
