Is OpenAI actually legally allowed to do that? How is using their model for training different from training on copyrighted data which all these models do?

It's probably untested in courts, there's so many loopholes and variables too, what's considered a competing AI model? Companies usually just spew a bunch of stuff in their terms of use, some of which have no legal basis.

I'd say enjoy it while it lasts, at the very least

Train a model that's designated as non-competing but open, then train another model from the output of that that's competing.

They are. It's less to do with copyright and more to do with the fact that you signed the T&C before using their system ( and then broke ). It's simmilar to the LinkedIn data scraping case where the court ruled that it wasn't illegal for them to scrape ( nor did it violate copyright ) but they still got in trouble ( and had to settle ) because of violating the T&C.

One way around this is to have two parties, one generating and publishing the dataset ( doesn't violate T&C ) and another independant party ( who didn't sign the T&C ) fine-tuning a model on the dataset.

Couldnt it be possible to set up a large community Q/A repositiry then? Just crowdsource whatever it outputs and document collectively.
