Right. And what even is the penalty of that TOS violation and how enforceable is it?

I don't have an OpenAI account. I have never agreed to any TOS. I don't see what legal claim they would have to stop me from training an LLM on ShareGPT.



If Google were specifically going to ChatGPT to get its output and train off of it, they could be sued for breach of contract - and OpenAI would likely have a pretty good argument:

- they specifically tried extracting and learning from our model when it says you can't in our TOS

- this makes it easier for them to compete with us via the data they obtain in their breach of contract

- more businesses and enterprises might pass up on renting a shared or dedicated instance from us if they can just get it from Google


> If Google were specifically going to ChatGPT to get its output and train off of it

But (correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think anyone anywhere is claiming that's what happened. The claim was just that Google looked into using existing chats that it scraped from another website.

Edit: realizing you're probably replying specifically to the question I asked, "and what even is the penalty of that TOS violation and how enforceable is it?" In which case, yeah, that's a decent clarification to add, sorry for pushing back on it.
