It certainly caused me more anxiety than I would "experience in everyday life" 🙄

It was certainly foreseeable, because they explicitly mentioned it in the email they sent!

I think the issue is less about the license itself and more about the fact that the researchers used *individual* people's names and work (rather than an aggregation) without their consent. I didn't do the survey, but I imagine my name (and certainly the title and topic of my work) was used directly

I had to spend time looking these people up to make sure it was "legit". I'm still not even sure it is...

agreed. And the email I got back to my queries about this was short, uninformative, and unprofessional.

The worst part of it was that, as an incentive for participating, they offered me the AI-generated ideas that came from scraping my work "for free". Gee, thanks. And hell, no.

Same here, I declined. I get that it's probably "fair use" under the license, but when I put the preprint up I definitely did not have AI scraping in mind. It's a little odd to think that preprint-posters proactively consented to a use that wasn't even imagined at the time of posting.
