More individuals are increasingly recognizing that we are currently in a medieval era of the Internet. The content and creations we share online today are essentially not entirely our own. Many are eagerly awaiting a transformative moment akin to the French Revolution to rectify this situation.

I personally hope that nothing changes in this regard. I think it’s great if everyone can use the content that was voluntarily posted online for the whole world to see.

Speaking as someone with 100k rep on SO, I don't mind them using my answers to train the model. What I object to is when the resulting model is not then itself posted online for the whole world to see. If OpenAI actually shared the weights for GPT-4, I would consider it an ethical trade.

currently? Even in the geocities days, companies can presumably crawl/scrape your site to train their LLMs. The only way of preventing that is by paywalling your site, which I doubt many hobbyist bloggers are going to do.
