The easiest way for Sam to facilitate goodwill would be to remove the customer noncompete which claims use of output to develop “models that compete with OpenAI” is “illegal, harmful, or abusive activity.”
It’s like claiming your words cannot be used against you because competition is evil. Ironically, the prohibition is more evil than that which it prohibits, especially in the context of free market capitalism. It also seemingly violates California law on noncompetition and contractual restraint of trade and even false advertising, since they advertise “you own the Output” yet prohibit its fair use (while arguing “fair use” in mimicking copyright work)

A simple “not for resale” would suffice.
Not like Microsoft respects the rule anyway.
