Update after @Rosie answered:
I still don’t understand why Stack Exchange are in a partnership with OpenAI. I felt like I’m been cheated. But hopefully, I took more time in editing posts than asking or answering questions. But what can we do with those users who were contributing (asking or answering) very much in Stack Exchange?
I’m actually not familiar with the Term of Service in Stack Exchange, but I felt hopeless when I saw this in the comments and a question. It looks like the users who contributed much can’t do anything, delete their accounts or posts are useless!!!
the Terms of service give Stack Overflow license to use your post content, even if they are deleted. -AMtwo
note that deleting your account does not result in deletion of your content. -super-starball-ultra
You can also see this question for some information: How can a user unhappy with the LLM partnerships protest constructively (and ideally- effectively)?
I feel like now Stack Exchange has solely started disrespecting its users’ values and efforts.
I hope the management can be better and go into partnerships with those companies to get some benefits. And these benefits don’t last long. Who will believe Stack Exchange, from now on?
For me, I won’t believe Stack Exchange in its management.
I’m not understanding what this stupid announcement is for, but the thing that I confirmed is that Stack Exchange is very bad currently.
