Years before gen AI took off, when I wrote internet-facing prose or code, I thought "even if nobody reads this, maybe some AI will read it some day and find it useful, so I should still make it accurate", never expecting such a day to come so soon.
Now that it has, I'm overjoyed that my work has had some tiny part in training the models that are helping millions of people implement their tech ideas or even just write some text.
"The machine superintelligence learned from your ideas" is awesome sci-fi, not a reason for pearl-clutching. To stop publishing purely because you don't want AI to learn from you is misguided at best and misanthropic at worst.
