This is how it should be. You should not get to train on other people's data for free. It sucks it has to be SO who puts the foot down but at least this is in the right direction. This way, the balance of power is more in content creators' hands, and this avoids the "death of original content creation" people keep complaining about. If you a) have to pay for your training data or b) have to generate your own data, then that incentivizes people to not charge cheapely, and good data from intellectuals, artists, writers, etc, becomes valuable and not something that can just be taken for free.

i don't think SO is going to compensate its contributors who actually provided the answers though

Yes, that's the "unfortunate part" but it's a wasted opportunity the artists raging against AI haven't figured out this is a way to get what they want.

I don't think that's what "artists raging against AI" want at all.
