Look, I am not associated in any way with OpenAI but I’m pretty confident in what I’m about to write…

1. There is a reason for your ban—you did something against the OpenAI terms of service.
2. There’s essentially zero likelihood OpenAI is going to ever reinstate your account.

In the future, when you’re given access to a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art tool maybe don’t take it for granted and misuse it?
