My goal from posting on various forums like SO is to scale the impact of my knowledge to as many people as possible, to give something back. I really don't care what modality or mechanism is used to distribute my contribution to others.

Why should I care if my SO answer I posted 7 years ago ends up in an LLM output in some random model? I wasn't getting paid for it anyway, and didn't expect to.

I view my random contributions across the web ending up in LLMs as a good thing, my posts now potentially reach even more people & places than it would have on a single forum site, that's the whole point of me posting online. Maybe I'm an outlier here.
