At Oxford, the edu version for GPT explicitly states that our usage won’t be used to train models. If the companies are simply monitoring what scientists are doing and scoop their work. It is wrong and has to stop.
OpenAI (& Anthropic) really need to release very clear legally binding statements ASAP that this kind of behavior is against their official policy. If not, it is going to be a legal disaster for science. Even more reason to favor open source models not controlled by companies.
