This is really puzzling to me. The product will be neutered to oblivion and then we will still have nothing.
That’s not entirely true.
Indemnity
If you are a business or organization, to the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our personnel, from and against any costs, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) from third party claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Services and Content or any violation of these Terms. https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use
The paradigm you support will leave us with nothing in the long run.
It’s probably equally bad if OpenAI starts suing its developers (if any developers are actually in that position). It’s not an easy thing, but just putting everyone in a padded room is not a solution.
This neutering has started way before this NYT thing was a thing. I’d say it started after they released chatgpt. Remember 0613?
