Please be aware that the "opt-out" choice is just a way to try to appease people. But Tumblr has not been transparent about when has data been sold and shared with AI companies, and there are sources that confirm that data has already been shared before the toggle was even provided to users.
Also, it seems to include data they should not have been able to give under any circumstance, including that of deactivated blogs, private messages and conversations, stuff from private blogs, and so on.
Do not believe that "AI companies will honor the "opt-out request retroactively". Once they've got their hands on your data (and they have), they won't be "honoring" an opt-out option retroactively. There is no way to confirm or deny what data do they have: The fact they are completely opaque on what do they currently "own" and have, means that they can do whatever they want with it. How can you prove they have your data if they don't give everyone free access to see what they've stolen already?
So, yeah, opt out of data sharing, but be aware that this isn't stopping anyone from taking your data. They already have been taking it, before you were given that option. Go and go to Tumblr's Suppport and leave your Feedback on this (politely, but firmly- not everyone in the company is responsible for this.)
Finally: Opt out is not good under any circumstance. Deactivated people can't opt out. People who have lost their passwords can't opt out. People who can't access internet or computers can't opt out. People who had their content reposted can't opt out. Dead people can't opt out. When DeviantArt released their AI image generator, saying that it wasn't trained on people who didn't consent to it, it was proven it could easily replicate the styles of people who had passed away, as seen here. So, yeah. AI companies cannot be trusted to have any sort of respect for people's data and content, because this entire thing is just a data laundering scheme.
Please do reblog for awareness.

"I'm sorry,” Shuichi’s voice breaks, he clears his throat, tears gathering in his eyes. He tries to find his words, his hands wavering in the air. “What are you apologizing for?” Kaito asks, the aggressiveness in his voice makes Shuichi fully look at him, confusion swirling in his eyes, “You just did what she asked,”

I almost gave up on these guys, but I liked the girl's hair so much I talked myself into finishing it. Kokichi's not bad, I like his nails, but Kyoko and Sayaka are where it's at for me. I think this is the best her hair tinsels have ever been <33
i shouldn't have put Makoto and Sayaka in the boxes it makes it look like they are in different places when in-fact they are in the same room
they're gossiping
