In any case, yeah, if you did get access to it, it would be cool to see what comes out of your prompts with it.

Excuse me?
What's in the TOS that you dislike?
I heard quite a few more people having problems with it but I havent sifted myself through the TOS yet. I'd like to know
I mean... I don't plan to do anything political with it, so I should be the clear, if I get it anytime soon...

I'm not sure why you mention a political theme? If I said something to imply anything of that sort, it wasn't my intention if I did.

The main thing I dislike in the TOS is that OpenAI owns the intellectual rights to any resulting image that was generated by a user, even if a user had used some of their own pictures as uploads to use as a base.

As an artist I hate stuff like this because it doesn't even try to compromise with a mid-ground that both sides could be happy with. To me it's like being given a paint brush and being told "anything you make with this brush is not your intellectual property and we can take it away from you at any time".

They do have a policy that lets you share the generated images online but it feels a bit authoritative to me, even though I know it's supposed to just be legal ass-covering. Saying that you should refrain from sharing outputs that might offend others? The very purpose of art many times is to stir emotion and to some extent "offend", and being offended is such a vague notion, as people have very different sensibilities in that regard and a person can be realistically offended by just about anything.

I can understand why they have a no commercial-use clause, I think that can make some sense, it's the full ownership of the generated image which will bother me at the end of the day, despite the fact that your text prompt for the generated image can be your original idea. According to the TOS you also give them rights to re-use any of your submitted "user content" in the present and in the indefinite future in any way they see fit as long as it can be related to some OpenAI purpose.

At any rate, copyright laws and legal provisions like this are a small mess and do little to favour individuals over bigger companies, which is why I'm not surprised about this.

For most people this is likely not an issue at all, and I doubt this would become an issue for someone who does just want to use a tool like this for their own dreams.

WOW.. How on Earth do you police that fairly? That is so messed up. People need to start taking responsibility for their own feelings just a little bit.
