Whether it's a 'problem' or not is viewpoint-dependent but it's against the OpenAI ToU:

(I'm also curious whether they consider developing a competing model to be illegal, or harmful, or abusive...?)

Given that OpenAI doesn't care about training on copyrighted data, why is suddenly their ToU something anyone should care about?

Feels like this should be some kind of anti-competitive violation even if it's not actually. Probably moot under this admin but still.

It's like saying you can't use windows to develop an OS, or drive a Ford on the way to your job at Hyundai.
