As a former user this kinda makes me feel weirdly proud. Like I knew the whole time I was releasing the text for free to everyone, I'm not pissed about this getting monetized any more than I was pissed about the ads on Tumblr and (free) WordPress sites.
But to whatever extent my personality came out through my text, I pushed to whatever small degree the subsequent LLMs to respond like me. I'm one small part of the AI just like I am one small part of humanity, but it's not nothing.
