I think people who don’t want their content contributing to AI shouldn’t have it on the public web.

There are many ways to restrict access. Use one of them. But if you respond to an anonymous http request with content then it shouldn’t matter if it’s a robot looking at it or a human (or a man or a woman or whatever).

I think this both for simplicity and that I foresee a future where human consciousness is simulated and basically an AI. I don’t want to have rules that biological humans can view and digital humans can’t.

Practically speaking, that's the only effective solution. I just think that it's a shame that's necessary. It would be better for everyone if there wasn't a disincentive to making works publicly available.

This is a point we disagree on.

And "digital humans"? I would argue that such a thing can't exist, if you mean "human" in any way other than rough analogy.
