TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, has been secretly using OpenAI’s technology to develop its own competing large language model (LLM). “This practice is generally considered a faux pas in the AI world,” writes The Verge’s Alex Heath. “It’s also in direct violation of OpenAI’s terms of service, which state that its model output can’t be used ‘to develop any artificial intelligence models that compete with our products and services.’”

          Someone would have sued openAI if they stole something. Private companies try to steal ideas and data all the time. The only thing to stop them is regulation or IP lawsuits.

      unpopular opinion but true: they took advantage of a legal loophole and they cashed on it. Legal counseling really pay up dividends.
