Ironic. SO content is user generated. It is a bit rich for them to put a wall around it and claim that it is chargeable for use as an AI training set by other companies (unless they also have a plan to share the income with their users). Especially so given their stance on cash bounties for answers/sponsored questions etc., The mods on SO and StackExchange family of sites frown upon cash bounties for answers. But when SO itself wants to erect a paywall around the Question-Answer set for AI training, it is somehow clean and moral. Smells like BS. https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/251576/how-open-is-so-for-the-possibility-of-monetary-bounties https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/251576/how-open-is-... https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/25615/offering-actual-money-as-a-bounty https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/25615/offering-actu... https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/57850/pay-money-to-so-for-quick-support https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/57850/pay-money-to-...
