I think there is an opportunity for GenAI chatbot platforms to offer something similar to Quora, Stackoverflow, Reddit, etc and then train on it. answers.tld.com, for example. Human mods curate and perform QA (assisted with LLMs), and the models are built off of the corpus. Reddit is trying to turn into ChatGPT using Reddit Answers, when OpenAI and other platforms already have the traffic, MAUs, and investment.

As seen with the many examples of this that have come before it I.e stack exchange and reddit answers etc… nobody is in anyway even remotely motivated to put in the time and effort to offer their expertise to have someone else steal it for their own greedy profit seeking reasons.

You’re asking people to willingly sign up to be robbed and receive no compensation or credit in return.

Offer them free access to the robot if they meet contribution and quality requirements. 8.5+ billion people in the world, I’m sure you can find takers, just as Wikipedia has an army of dedicated volunteers.

Voluntary knowledge contributions are not theft, so provide the opportunity and see what happens. “Build the machine that builds the machine.”

People WERE happy to do the Wikipedia model but you won’t find anyone who is willing to do it now purely to make someone else rich and you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise..

https://theamericanscholar.org/baby-shoggoth-is-listening/ from https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/writing-for-the-ais mentions writers specifically tailoring their work for AI, so I think there is a cohort out there who will write for the robot to train on.
