> Also, you need to understand, that for huge corps like OpenAI, the lying on your ToS will do orders of magnitude more damage to your brand than what you would gain

Is this true? I can’t recall anything like this (look at Ashley Madison which is alive and well)

I think it is hard to say because OpenAI is still heavily in development and working out their business model (and a reasonable complaint is that it is crazy to label them a massive success without seeing how they actually work when they need to make a profit).

But, all that aside, it seems that OpenAI is aiming to be bigger and more integrated into the day-to-day life of the average person than Ashley Madison, right?

It's not national news when a company is found to be doing what they say they are doing.

You said there would be ‘orders of magnitude’ of brand damage. What is the proof?
