Seems disrespectful of students to write two blog posts about this without clarifying if you foist OpenAI’s explicitly anticompetitive legal terms on students.

Seems disrespectful of students to write two blog posts about this without clarifying if you foist OpenAI’s explicitly anticompetitive legal terms on students.
If the OpenAI data use policy applies to Khan Academy students, they implicitly require every student user of this to not use the output to compete with OpenAI (taken literally, you can’t use what your tutor says to you for anything, since it’s always going to compete with OpenAI)
Imagine how dumb it is to say “our thing can do everything. You can use it, but you can’t use it to do anything that competes with us.”
Let that sink in. Can you name one thing you can do using the output of a thing that does everything which doesn’t compete with the everything thing?
What a shame to flush Khan academy just to hop aboard the hype train. I know I’ll probably get downvoted for being negative but to write so much without clarifying what the “Open” AI legal terms mean for students is actively harmful to student trust.
If anyone needs a reason to pity OpenAI, just remember how they betray their true name. That is a profound failure and I would not wish it on anyone.
