Just found out my art prints were being used to train AI without permission

I was browsing a dataset site called LAION and found 47 of my pieces in a folder labeled for training models. That surprised me because I never consented to it and my showcase site doesn't even have a right-click blocker.

Changed my mind after finding my own work in their training sets.

Agree with what @simonreed said about changing your mind once you see your own work in there, its a totally different feeling when its your stuff being used without asking. Do you think a lot of artists are just starting to realize how widespread this is?
