someone commented this ChatGPT link as a summary of the changes... (but the comment seems to have been deleted? not sure why it was deleted but I thought the summary was useful - although of course hard to verify accuracy / hallucination free)
IF that were a good summary it would seem relatively benign, except for the extremely scary penultimate line:
`Use of Content to Improve Services:
The older terms mentioned that OpenAI does not use content from the API to develop or improve services but may use content from other services to help develop and improve the services. Users had the option to opt-out if they didn't want their non-API content used for this purpose .
The new terms do not explicitly mention this aspect, which may suggest a change in policy or it might be covered under different specific documentation now .`
But then on closer inspection the business terms (which govern API use), do state:
"We will not use Customer Content to develop or improve the Services." which I assume means that the underlying terms have not changed, they've just changed where the relevant terms live. ("Customer Content" is defined to mean customer provided inputs and outputs. I assume that if they can't train on Customer Content, that means they can't train on synthetic data create to resemble customer content as well, although I'm not a lawyer so would probably want to consult one about that.
