The blog post directly addresses this question: https://openai.com/blog/openai-api/

> What specifically will OpenAI do about misuse of the API, given what you’ve previously said about GPT-2?

> We will terminate API access for use-cases that cause physical or mental harm to people, including but not limited to harassment, intentional deception, radicalization, astroturfing, or spam; as we gain more experience operating the API in practice we expect to expand and refine these categories.

With Amazon having a moratorium of their rekognition API, I wonder if a Cambridge Analytica type event could happen to OpenAI where someone abuses and escapes the terms of service.

ah i've been caught not reading the linked post

hmm i dont love this. either OpenAI has implicitly promised to monitor all its users, or has adopted a "report TOS violations to us when they happen and we will judge" stance. neither are great roads to go down.
