Recently I was testing language models like ChatGPT with WordPress questions. It does well sometimes and doesn't do that well some other times.
However, I've noticed, especially in the answers that it does well, I can sometimes figure out where it got part of the information from. I was even surprised when I saw a less than necessary comment within the code generated by ChatGPT that came from this site. Which means, it took at least part of the answer from this site.
So my question is, while we answer questions here mainly to help others, or even to show off our skills, who really own the content? Or better yet, can I post an answer here and then say that this particular answer is GPL and another one is Creative Commons and you can use whichever way you like, but you'll have to at least give attributation by law, whether you are a human being or an AI? Or is it different for humans and AI?
I've noticed at the bottom of the site it says user contents are CC:
but it doesn't specifically say anything about the use of the content here in generative language models.
Note: Just in case all of these sound like too many questions, my main question is what the title says. The remaining questions are just discussion points.

user comments! May be we should put more meaningless or fun comments within code just to catch content thieves, AI or no AI. LOL.
