  • You should read the article yourself. There license has nothing to do with AI. Quoting them directly:

    Creative Commons solves a particular problem for us – how to encourage republication at scale without tying up staff in negotiating deals and policing unauthorized uses. We’ve found it an invaluable aid in building our publishing platform, in reaching additional readers, and in maximizing the chance that the journalism we publish will have important impact.

    You need to stop pointing at ProPublica as if you’re copying them, because you aren’t. They’re using the license to encourage republishing their works. The first article linked in that post was published in 2009, long before the AI boom. I’ve gone over the license you link as well, and it doesn’t limit AI either. That’s something you seem to have fabricated yourself.

    The reason people are annoyed by you is because it amounts to spam. It could be client specific as well. In Sync, your link gets auto-expanded with a link preview, same as any link. A cool feature, I really like it. Except your spam is everywhere you are and takes up screen real estate. This is again where ProPublica differs. On the post you keep referring to, there is not a link to the license, just the lettering at the top of a lengthy article. As another user pointed out, it wasn’t even posted by ProPublica, but reposted by an independent user.
