Wired Offers Helpful Article on "How to Stop Your Data From Being Used to Train AI"

The article by Matt Burgess and Reece Rogers, "How to Stop Your Data From Being Used to Train AI" starts with this line:

Anything you’ve ever posted online—a cringey tweet, an ancient blog post, an enthusiastic restaurant review, or a blurry Instagram selfie—has almost assuredly been gobbled up and used as part of the training materials for the current bombardment of generative AI. 

But the authors explain there's a little bit of control we can wrest back:

Some companies now let individuals and business customers opt out of having their content used in AI training or being sold for training purposes. Here’s what you can—and can’t—do.

They then run through how to opt out of AI training for Adobe, Amazon, Figma, Google Gemini, Grammarly, Grok AI (X), HubSpot, LinkedIn, OpenAI: ChatGPT and Dall-E, Perplexity, Quora, Rev, Slack, Squarespace, Substack, Tumblr, WordPress, and even how to address this on your own website.

It's well-worth considering how you want your information used, and I hope you find this helpful.
