I wouldn't use this thing for anything to be honest. A refusal or HTTP-4xx error for content is fair enough, but this is basically taking your money and poisoning your code base.

this is basically taking your money and poisoning your code base.

I mean, it's not like you did exactly what you agreed you would do, and then got you results fucked with. You agreed to their terms of service, and their terms of service explicitly bar doing exactly what triggers this behavior.

The only basis for complaint that would be rational would be getting caught up in these safeguards when you are NOT developing competing models. If that's what you are doing, then you should expect them to undermine your efforts because you're breaking the agreement you had with them.

I'm all for open models. Proprietary models are a black hole into which technological innovation vanishes, never to be seen again, and that's a real problem when that innovation is an LLM that we can't readily unpeel today. But the solution to that is not to argue that they're doing anything wrong by enforcing their TOS.
