> (iii) use the Services to develop foundation models or other large scale models that compete with OpenAI;

Kind of ironic given that OpenAI builds and trains all of their models on stuff they "found" in the open.

Either everything is fair game for training, or nothing at all is.

If I were a judge ruling on this matter, I would absolutely rule that bootstrapping a model from OpenAI outputs is no different than OpenAI collecting training data from artists and writers around the web. Learning is learning.

Might be worth trying to use the outputs to bootstrap. What are they going to do about it? Better to ask forgiveness until the law is settled.
