I understand the business motivation, especially because this is likely existential for SO, but it feels perverse to take information that people gave to help others and try to paywall it.

Agreed. But that’s the same mantra of any big co like Twitter, Facebook etc. they all monetize UGC in some form or the other.

Paywalled for AI not for people doing Q&A.

Yes and no. My first thought was "... and, what, pay royalties to the contributors?" But the thing that the ML community has been doing is wholesale IP laundering and somebody needs to hold them to task for that.

Isn’t this exactly what Open AI did ? Took SO’s data and put it behind a paywall, called it “AI”, it’s brilliant.
