Is that such a bad thing? I write code to get it out there, not for it to be exclusive or something. Any code that I write that helps somebody else in some way is a huge win for me and what keeps me going. If I could, _all_ of the code that I write would be open source or public but as-is the best way to make a living for me is to write closed-source code.

I see my code getting scraped by these AI tools as me having contributed to something greater than the sum of its parts. And I use it! My code helps you, your code helps me.
