99.999% of my imagery is off the net and will probably stay that way until scraping becomes a capital crime.

Interesting point.
In my case I’m starting to see more companies adding explicit AI clauses to releases — not just the usual “any media now known or hereafter devised” language, but specific rights to train AI or create synthetic content using the model’s likeness.
With the new laws in California and New York requiring separate consent and compensation for digital replicas, I’m wondering if the old “future media” wording will actually hold up for AI usage.
Feels like the industry will eventually need two options in releases:
1. Standard content rights (photo/video use)
2. Separate AI / digital replica rights with additional compensation
Otherwise it’s probably going to get messy legally.
Curious if anyone has already had models push back on AI clauses or ask for extra payment specifically for that.
