Might be nice to actually ask for permission here before scraping everything and feeding it into a training set.

That seems counter to the current AI mentality though. Clearly if it's online and available it's part of your AI playground so go nuts.

Edit: In case my sarcasm isn't clear, I hate this mentality and I am just bitterly griping about AI into the void. You should definitely ask permission to use data before training AI on it, but that will put you behind other AI people who aren't asking permission

Everything on OGA has a license attached. Just respect the appropriate licenses and you're fine.
I think the problem is that the people doing the scraping often disrespect the license as we saw with co-pilot
