For those using ChatGPT, if anything you post is used in a lawsuit against OpenAI, OpenAI can send you the bill for the court case (attorney fees and such) whether OpenAI wins or loses.

    Only because they write something in their shitty corporate document doesn’t mean that it holds up later. Sure they can write, that you sold your soul to them, but that doesn’t mean that it is binding at all.

    After all you never signed any contract with them. Not even via Docusign (which wouldn’t even be binding in my country, lol… worthless).

    Yes they can send you a bill, but there’s always room for more toilet paper. Or just send them a fantasy bill back yourself 🤷

      Well, at least you have additional protections in your country. For those in the U.S. this document is binding enough (at least according to this lawyer: https://youtu.be/fOTuIhOWFXU?t=330).

      Edit: As with anything I’m sure you could argue in court that you shouldn’t be held responsible for their legal bills and hopefully you would win, but that would still require you to go to court over the matter.
