@galdor So this is what I got in response from the volunteer Stack Moderators after a quick exchange:
// QUOTE
Moderators are volunteering for the community, not the company. Specifically, people who don't want to use AI and want to have a reputable source of information written by humans.
Regardless of what company does, currently there is no way to prevent AI companies to scrape or use data dumps to train their models anyway.
Content you are destroying has been scraped a long time ago, behind company back. If you don't want your posts to be used for training AI you just don't have to post anything new.
Regards,
Stack Overflow Moderation Team

Can't quite get it why anyone would still volunteer their time as a moderator to this company, err, "community".
Anyway, I only contributed in 2022 during the course of a few days to see how quickly one can ramp up their reputation score. So there are no real ground for me to engage with them further. It's just yet another sad example of .. you know.
