What are GenAI/LLM Possible Stances?

Last Updated on August 12, 2026 by o

Pro AI Stance is:

their user’s data in and data out.
All companies that are willing to sell their customer’s data for AI.
Gross support of GenAI, saying GenAI is the future, screw the poor people, goes here.
GenAI is added to the program at any level belongs here. App or program is a deliberate add.

Neutral Stance is:
For websites only: No data into GenAI or an easy opt out, but doesn’t protect against AI content of any kind for websites explicitly. Sliding scale for how much of each. (Why different rules for websites v. programs/apps is about the bots.)
I try to tell you by how much with links.
For program/Apps, where they don’t have a clear stance, or it feels like they might want to add it anyway and backstab the userbase. (See Toonboom. They are about to slide to the evil side…)
Also some not sure or no clear Anti-statement goes here.
Freeware and shareware without a clear statement also goes here.

Anti AI Stance is:

No data into AI no GenAI machine.
No GenAI added AND a clear anti-AI statement in their TOS and policies.
No Chatbots, LLMs anywhere in the program. Cannot prompt.
Open source, but do not list any third party plug-ins with genAI/LLMs on the website.
Extra points and higher listings for programs that are well populated, older and have a stable UX.
