Perhaps the next step is having the LLMs ask questions on SO when they routinely fumble particular topics. I could see a system of knowledge bounties where people are compensated for providing accurate, in-depth training data on niche topics.

LLM content is banned everywhere on Stack Overflow, in both questions and answers, by policy, since mere days after the public announcement of ChatGPT (because it was immediately causing a huge problem): https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/421831

Moderators (actual elected moderators, the two dozen or so that exist for ~29 million user accounts and ~24 million non-deleted questions) went on strike in mid 2023, largely because the site staff/owners interfered with their ability to remove such content (an overwhelmingly popular policy with strong community consensus): https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/425000 and this decision propagated across the Stack Exchange network (as most SE sites had adopted similar policies): https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/389811/

A large fraction of the userbase is explicitly opposed to helping LLMs out in any way whatsoever. I personally have ceased contributing new question or answer content, and only edit existing posts. I contribute new content on Codidact (https://software.codidact.com/) instead (disclosure: I have recently become a moderator there).
