Auttomatic, the company that owns WordPress and Tumblr, is making a deal to provide data from their sites to help train OpenAI and Midjourney. “We are also working directly with select AI companies as long as their plans align with what our community cares about: attribution, opt-outs, and control,” an Auttomatic blog post says. “Our partnerships will respect all opt-out settings.”
