Criminals, SPAMers, foreign governments, PR firms, unethical corporations, etc. are not going to be stopped by a terms of service document. This will ignore it and keep on spreading disinformation. If AI helps them do this, they will use AI to do it.

I'm referring to protecting content from ingestion for AI model training.
If they deem the content valuable enough, I get the feeling that they'd instead just correct for it (e.g. auto-correct mispellings; replace and/or omit curse words).
It may get to the point wherein the only way to secure content is to hide it behind a paywall or otherwise make it non-public, then forbid via the TOS. There'd probably need to be court challenges even then.
I also wonder if the LinkedIn case involving scraping (wherein the ruling was essentially that public data was fair game), will be re-tested in the age of AI.
