My main point is that if people don’t want their content used for training LLMs they should absolutely have the option to not have their content used to train LLMs.

How can one prove that their content is being used to train the LLM though, rather than something that's derivative of their content like reviews of it?

there is already lots of evidence that they have scraped copyrighted art and photographs for their datasets.

Well, the company has the training data, so I would imagine that will be part of discovery phase of the lawsuit.

It will be a very quick case if OpenAI provides their training data and there is no data from Libgen and Z-library included in it.
