> If the market is all AI, and you are a service provider that does not want to work with AI at all then get out of the business.

Maybe they will, and I bet they'll be content doing that. I personally don't work with AI and try my best to not to train it. I left GitHub & Reddit because of this, and not uploading new photos to Instagram. The jury is still out on how I'm gonna share my photography, and not sharing it is on the table, as well.

I may even move to a cathedral model or just stop sharing the software I write with the general world, too.

Nobody has to bend and act against their values and conscience just because others are doing it, and the system is demanding to betray ourselves for its own benefit.

Life is more nuanced than that.

Good on you. Maybe some future innovation will afford everyone the same opportunity.

How large an audience do you want to share it to? Self host photo album software, on hardware you own, behind a password, to people you trust.

		Before that AI craze, I liked the idea of having a CC BY-NC-ND[0] public gallery to show what I took. I was not after any likes or anything. If I got professional feedback, that'd be a bonus. I even allowed EXIF-intact high resolution versions to be downloaded. Now, I'll probably install a gallery webapp to my webserver and put it behind authentication. I'm not rushing because I don't crave any interaction from my photography. The images will most probably be optimized and resized to save some storage space, as well.
