With that being said, I am not pleased that my content is packaged into a proprietary AI, and sold for money.

I think there are ways to opt-out of AI collection, at least for big companies. I wonder if it is implemented in Lemmy-UI and/or terms and conditions.

on the other hand, if there's troves of free data, that takes the upper hand from the companies that can afford paying for it, and gives open source a much better chance at staying competitive.

You opt-out so that there is less free training data, making Reddit's data all the more valuable. I'm sure spez will be thankful.
