For now, I use tumblr, which has an option to block AI, and Ameblog (and AmeBlog is where I get worried on).
What's AmeBlog?
I had a look at what tumblr says and it's probably a good option. It's not likely that they will try to find sneaky ways around the settings. The liability risk is in no relation to the potential gain from selling that data. Under EU law, such opt-outs must be respected when training AI. For now, the major US companies can be expected to abide by that. In the future, we may see special models for the EU. A few open source models by Chinese companies already exclude use in the EU.
Reducing scraping takes skill and a major effort, which tumblr can bring. A catch is that there is a conflict between serving images to lots of people but not to scrapers. Sufficiently determined large scale scraping operations will still succeed, but maybe no one will feel that it's worth the effort anymore. It's impossible to prevent individuals from saving images. So AI hobbyists or small artists could still use your images for training and share the products. When fans re-upload your images, they may become part of large scale datasets after all.
