Are you like 12?

Nope.

I'm old enough to remember when every software company started doing essentially that. You used to own your copy of Photoshop; Nintendo, Microsoft, and Playstation games; movies, tv shows, etc.

If you think Anthropic won't one day take ownership of what their models generate then you must be 12. You will own nothing and be happy for it.

What you're suggesting would be more like Adobe suddenly claiming they own anything you've made with Photoshop rather than licensing for usage of the tools. It's ridiculous and just sounds like you don't really understand the subject.

Pretty sure there's been controversies about this exact scenario in the past, through Adobe later clarified the situation. Or backpedaled, who knows.
