Not my problem. (Says the copyright holders.)
Look, I publish (nearly) all my blog posts for _free_ on the web because I like doing that, and I _still_ don't want chatbots scraping my content to serve their algos (yes, I'm blocking them now via robots.txt) because the reason I put content out for free is partially because I want my name and my expertise out there. I'm part of a community of authors if you will. Call it selfish or self-serving if you will, but that's my right as the author.
Having stuff I've contributed to the internet get ingested into a model and regurgitated out such that my contributions are sidelined…well, that's just not acceptable, any more than a person taking my blog post, rewriting it with a handful of other brief sources, then republishing it under their name with no attribution back to me is acceptable.
