GPL works via copyright. Since AI companies claim fair use no copyright applies. There is no fixing this. The only option is not to publish.

There are non-US jurisdictions where you have some options, but since most of them are trained in the US that won't help much.

They can claim whatever they want. You can still try to stop it via lawsuits and make them claim it in court. Granted, I believe there's already been some jurisdictions that have sided with fair use in those particular cases.

I recall a basics of law class saying that in some countries (e.g. Czech Republic), open source contributors have the right to small compensation if their work is used to a large financial benefit.

At some point, I'll have to look it up because if that's right, the billionaires and wannabe-trillionaires owe me a shitton of money.
