I dunno if it matters that the opt-in has to be at the legislation level.
After all, once Creative Commons adds that clause to their most popular license, it's game over for training things like Stable Diffusion.
I'm thinking that maybe the most popular software licenses can be extended with a single clause like "usage as training data not allowed".
Of course, we cannot retroactively apply these licenses so the current model will still be able to generate images/code; they just won't be able to easily use any new ones without getting into trouble.
