Don't they have in the ToS you aren't allowed to use outputs for training downstream? Which is a little ridiculous, considering it's ToS.

But yea, they cheap cost and lack of training is making me a take a long hard look at how I'm implementing more traditional NLP solutions.

you mean this? "Data submitted through the API is no longer used for service improvements (including model training) unless the organization opts in" https://openai.com/blog/introducing-chatgpt-and-whisper-apis

was referring to "(iii) use output from the Services to develop models that compete with OpenAI; (iv) except as permitted through the API, use any automated or programmatic method to extract data or output from the Services, including scraping, web harvesting, or web data extraction;" ~ https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use

I think I missed the exception for API, how ever not sure where they are, but seems to be fine based on alpaca. Also interesting they are so hard on web scraping and and extraction, lol. But wow, that is a poorly worded paragraph.
