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...?)
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.

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