I don't get this self-entitlement... It sounds so childish. The same users erasing posts have used knowledge on SO to do their jobs, therefore profiting from it. Now SO will profit from it, and so will OpenAI, as they should.

Also, answers are edotsble by other users, so you don't own them after you post them.

The answers are licensed under CC-BY-SA. It matters.

CC-BY-SA is a perpetual license, so the author can't just decide that they don't want StackOverflow to have access to the content anymore.

The point is that OpenAI is not sharing the result of that training with us, nor even the training set. In other words, they are ignoring both "attribution" and "share-alike" parts of the license, claiming that it's not applicable because what they are doing is fair use, and so copyright is not a concern.
