I agree, but there are hundreds if not thousands of AI startups trying to make their own relevant LLM, and they're going to be scraping Twitter. The Onion called it many years ago [1]: "400 billion tweets and not one useful bit of data was ever transmitted".

I can't imagine worse training data than e.g. Twitter and Reddit posts. How about like, dunno, books?
