I just tried to delete my #academia dot edu, but it looks like in the process,I inadvertently accepted the new terms?Does that mean that even after I leave they can still use my face/content/voice etc?Also,how do we share our work with/find each other without becoming free content for AI training?

Fantasmas was born in Puerto Rico and matured with me in the United States. With Phantoms, I’ll be sharing stories of memory, migration, and motherhood — stories past and present, from Puerto Rico to the United States.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
