Based on the information provided in the extracts, OpenAI does not claim copyright over the content generated by the API for you or your end users source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5008634-will-openai-claim-copyright-over-what-outputs-i-generate-with-the-api). This suggests that you should be able to use the outputs from the OpenAI API in your game without infringing on OpenAI's intellectual property rights.
However, it's important to note that OpenAI's models, including ChatGPT, are trained on a broad corpus of text that includes publicly available content, licensed content, and content generated by human reviewers source (https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7730893-data-controls-faq#h_700040d397). The specific datasets used to train these models are not disclosed, which might be the source of the "unclear" copyright status you've heard about.
While OpenAI doesn't claim copyright over the outputs of the API, the copyright status of the training data is a separate issue. If the training data included copyrighted material, and the outputs of the AI can be seen as derivative works of that training data, there could potentially be copyright issues. However, this is a complex legal issue and you should consult with a legal expert to get a definitive answer.
In terms of using the API in a commercial product like a game, you should also review OpenAI's Terms of Use (https://beta.openai.com/policies/terms-of-use) and consider whether the model is fit for your purpose source (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/safety-best-practices). If you notice any safety or security issues with the API, you should report these to OpenAI source (https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/safety-best-practices).
