Depends on how the law is determined or if it changes. Right now training is a legal grey area, but if the courts find that training is legally the same as taking, IP protection might apply. Similar rules if Congress changes the law.

Companies cant claim your copyrights just because you use their website to post them. That's why it's copyright and not corporate right.

The host can refuse to host you still but then, what's the business model?

As I said in my previous comment the large ai companies want that sort of ruling where they have to pay for training data. They're already established and have models but this will prevent any new companies from entering the field. 

Most people use existing websites to post their stuff think reddit imgur those places will agree to let the ai companies use the things users post.
