MS lawyers have a good track record at sending out those scary cease&desist letters

  I don't think that works. LLM-generated contents are not copyrightable.

    Breach of contract for violating the TOS agreed to when signinf uo for the service doesn’t depend on copyright.

      Right but cease and desist usually relates to intellectual property or copyright matters, typically not TOS violations. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
      • dragonwriter 3y ago
        Cease and desist can be used for any issues where the person or entity issuing the C&D thinks they have a legal right that is being violated and wants to put the violator on notice in the hopes of securing a change in behavior short of legal action.

      What I don't understand - is there anything that would prevent Alice from publishing ChatGPT prompts and outputs for anyone to use, with no T&C attached? Once Alice has done that, is there anything to prevent Bob, who has never agreed to ChatGPT ToS, to use those prompts and outputs to train his own models to compete with OpenAI's? (Purely from a contractual/legal/IP angle rather than ML/technical.)

      Is a terms of service considered a contract?
