Is there a creative commons or other open access art license that prevents it from being used to train AI? (lemmy.ml)

I really don't want my photos, writings, etc to be used for things like StableDiffusion or ChatGPT, but some of them I still want to release under an open access license that's free for others to use in conventional derivative works, just specifically not AI. Does such a license exist?

Or at the very least, if my work is to be used to train AI, then I think the final models and neural networks themselves need to be open source and also free for anyone to use (as in, people should be able to download and run the AI on their own computer, not have to use the company's web app. Does CC-BY-SA protect against this since it requires that any derivative works also be released under the same license? Does it work like GPL in that regard?

This is an excellent question, seeing as these AIs are mostly trained from publicly available materials. Brian Lunduke created his own The Lunduke Content Usage License 1.0 in which he tasks violating AI companies a hefty fine.

One way to look at this is that AI training bots could be configured to start avoiding any content that falls under this license, fearing these fines. This effect would seem to be the most likely way to successfully protect content from training AI, much likelier in any case than trying to find out any violations after the fact.
