Yes, But Not Always. Generative AI Needs Nuanced Opt-in

arXiv:2604.09413v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper argues that a one-size-fits-all approach to specifying consent for the use of creative works in generative AI is insufficient. Real-world ownership and rights holder structures, the imitation of artistic styles and likeness, and the limitless contexts of use of AI outputs make the status quo of binary consent with opt-in by default untenable. To move beyond the current impasse, we consider levers of control in generative AI workflows a
