So, this company wants everyone and every organization on Earth to use their software, and reserve the right to then tell anyone how the resulting work can be published and credited?

Real solid business model there, how could it ever fail?

The site should have a disclaimer at the bottom: "A Sam Altman Production."

99% of the world (maybe more) have 0 idea of who Sam Altman is.

Add "We might take credit for things you figure out, if we can infer it from your prompts" and it might actually affect people's usage of these tools.

Don't say that - he'll start making sure everyone knows who he is

I think he's well on his way. Math friends that would have said "Altman who?" a week ago are now saying "Don't talk to me about that #@$!@&!"

That's not what the comment you're replying to or the article says. I feel like I'm going crazy reading comments here and elsewhere, am I not reading the same articles as everyone else?

There's a lot of unverified hearsay but the crux of the problem is that there is controversy around using this company's tools, the attribution of the resulting work, and the company for some reason competing with its users. The whole thing reeks and my point is: people won't ask for the chromatography spectrum of the turd, they will walk away.

You are. Most people have just long decided to forgo nuance for the simplicity of snark and hate as a default response
