Guess I'm 'almost nobody'. I see zero issue with AI farming Stack Overflow, Twitter, Reddit, and the like - publicly accessible forums. The value to me was in the discussion. It's happened; I've extracted my value from that engagement. If an AI company can also extract value from that collection of discussions, it costs me nothing and I expect no compensation.
Thought AI companies farming copyrighted work on the other hand, that's a different story.
