Ask HN: How do I prevent AI from reading/training off my content?

How can I prevent AI (ChatGPT, etc) from reading and training on the blog posts, reddit posts, or code that I post online like on Github?

Is there a license that I can use that specifically prohibits AI companies from reading and training off my content? Or do I need to put my content behind a login?

    i'm less worried about someone profiting from my intellectual property, and more worried about maintaining my edge... making sure i stay in a state where i can come up with unique, novel, fresh perspectives on a continuous basis... mainly though meditation, breathwork, bodywork, yoga.

    We’ve seen time and time again and that AI companies won’t respect any license you may use. When it comes to platforms you don’t own (Reddit, GitHub, etc), you don’t have much control in the matter.

    Stop sharing stuff online, or if you do, put it behind some kind of login where you control the platform. Of course that that point you might as well just host stuff in a home lab without access to the public internet.

    My honest advice? Don't bother with the things you can't control or don't matter.

    Whether or not someone is using your data is one of them.
