Doesn’t mean it’s enforceable though. That being said, given the priority this is given in their ToS, I suspect they’ll be hearing from lawyers.
Edit: to be clear I don’t support this clause in their ToS, this is just something I noticed having had to study their ToS and privacy policy within the past week.

- snovv_crash 4y agoScraping images from Getty is also violating the terms of service.
- DoesntMatter22 4y agoHow is that related to anything?
- r3trohack3r 4y agoIt is. And they heard from Getty’s lawyers.

- somenameforme 4y agoI would be curious to hear a lawyer's take on this, though I suspect we'll be hearing the Supreme Court's on it soon enough. This seems to be begging the question of who owns the content produced by the software. So far, the courts have stated that model-generated content cannot be copyrighted [1]. That was referring to images, and text seems likely to be on even shakier ground. I don't see how a company could license the usage of something that they don't have the legal rights to - the output text in particular. Obviously OpenAI can terminate people's accounts for whatever reason they want, but that's largely meaningless. They have 0 chances of deterring anything unless they can secure substantial damages.

- arlcode 4y agoI suspect Microsoft will start Lobbying for protecting the "AI economy" pretty soon if they have not already started. I mean they didn't care about where all that training data came from but that doesn't mean anybody else should (in their minds). That's them pulling up the ladder behind OpenAI
