If you share AI-generated content from OpenAI publicly, you must follow a separate Sharing and Publication Policy and are responsible for ensuring the content is accurate and not misleading.
When you publish content created with ChatGPT, you take on legal responsibility for ensuring it is accurate, non-deceptive, and lawful. This means the risk of AI-generated misinformation, defamation, or copyright infringement in published outputs falls primarily on the user, not OpenAI.
