Why should you? It's their platform.

EDIT: Someone just posted snippet of their ToS, seems like it's not your data.

because i wrote the content, and now they're trying to say what others can or can't do with it. but sure, i agreed to some terms.

those terms are CC BY-SA 4.0 (https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing), which says others can "remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially."

I'd think harvesting for AI training data falls under that. the "attribution" and "share alike" clauses make it kinda tricky though.

those terms are kind of brutal actually, I'm not sure if anyone is following them. you have to credit every answer you use in your code? and share your new totally different code?
