This requirement places the burden of verification and professional judgment on the user, limiting reliance on the output for clinical decision-making.
Interpretive note: The excerpt uses 'You should always' rather than 'You must' or 'You are prohibited from', which may indicate a strong recommendation rather than a binding obligation. The canonical claim uses 'requires' consistent with the directive framing, but the precise legal force of 'should' versus 'must' is ambiguous without broader contract context.
The updated terms establish new licensing provisions for customers who download and install software components (Licensed Materials) on their own systems. Under the revised terms, OpenAI grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use Licensed Materials solely in connection with the Services, but customers may not modify, redistribute, or sublicense the materials. Upon termination of service, customers must permanently delete the Licensed Materials. Additionally, OpenAI introduced a new ChatGPT Sites feature for creating and publishing websites, with use governed by separate ChatGPT Sites Terms. You can review the ChatGPT Sites Terms via the referenced link to understand specific conditions for website creation and maintenance.
