I just got an email from someone who has entered a preprint paper of mine into a chatbot and generated some output from it ('additional ideas'). They did not ask me beforehand to do this. They say in the email the (SocArxiv) CC By-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License allows them to do this. Does it? They want me to do a survey to tell them my opinions on the output. I wont.

No copyright licence, even "all rights reserved ©" prevents a individual from uploading a file to a chatbot.
In the same way that if I bought a copy of a book you wrote, I could rip out three pages and add highlighting to other pages.
The only bit that a copyright licence would prevent (inc but not limited to Creative Commons licences) is if that person uploaded the new output to a public website in effect republishing it, if done without sufficient attribution(?)
@DrPen @creativecommons as the person only _privately_ emailed you the output (?) they haven't really publicly republished anything and so I don't see any grounds for any kind of copyright infringement claim here I'm afraid.
@rmounce @creativecommons actually they didnt send the output to me. I can only see the output if I agree to their survey. So no go there. But I get your point.
I'd actually go as far to say the bit where they say " the (SocArxiv) CC By-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Public License allows them to do this" is misleading.
They can do this and it's _not_ the CC licence that allows them to do this.
Instead it is the normal, internationally agreed exceptions and limitations to copyright that allow them to do this.
Nothing to do with the CC licence you chose for your work!
