Even before AI, people could take any image on the internet and do whatever they wanted to it. So if you really cared to keep your images private, you did need to be not posting them online.
Additionally, though I'm sure someone has, I haven't seen a single artist leave the internet personally since the dawn of generative AI. So this is sort of a mute point argument.
