If for-profit LLM's can be trained on the public content of for-profit Q&A sites without paying anything, then there won't be any public content of for-profit Q&A sites.
For-profit Q&A sites will have to either:
* try to restrict access (some sort of technical and/or legal barrier)
* shrink and become non-profit (Wikipedia style)
* fold
There are echoes in this conflict from the open source database vs cloud providers and licenses. It is the type of conflict we'll probably see more and more as different business models compete in the same global digital space.
