How can I block AI from using my Substack publication to train their models?

To disable AI tools and AI assistants from using your published Substack content as part of a training model, first head to your publication's Settings page.

Scroll to the Privacy section and slide the toggle to the right next to "Tell AI tools not to train their models on your content."

This setting indicates to AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini that their models should not be trained on your published content. This will only apply to AI tools that respect this setting, and blocking training may limit your publication's discoverability in tools and search engines that return AI-generated results.
