Hey can I talk to you since we have an open forum

Hi @wispy mulch. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

You can sometimes be compensated (via refunds or credits), but how it works depends on what you’re using and how you were billed.

1. If this is about a ChatGPT paid subscription (Plus / Pro / Team / Go)

  • To request a refund or compensation, log in to your ChatGPT account, go to the Help Center, and use the chat bubble in the bottom-right to ask for a refund/credit. [Refund request]
  • If you subscribed via Apple or Google Play, some refunds/compensation must be requested directly through Apple/Google, following their subscription refund process. [Refund request]
  • For a specific outage (e.g., the June 10, 2025 disruption in South Korea), OpenAI applied automatic credits to active paid ChatGPT accounts in that region; Apple subscribers must request compensation via Apple’s “Report a problem” flow. [June 10 FAQ]

2. If this is about unexpected or disputed charges / hacked API usage

  • You should contact support with full details (timestamps, amounts, screenshots, etc.) via the Help Center chat or by emailing support@openai.com. [How to contact support; Hacking damage post]
  • For EU users, you can also contact DSA-users@openai.com as a DSA point of contact. [EU DSA contact]

3. If you cannot access your account / email

#
  • Support can cancel subscriptions or help with billing if you provide identifying info (email on the account, last 4 digits of card, date of last payment). [Cancel subscription FAQ]

4. If support/chat is not working for you

  • You can still reach support starting from help.openai.com using the chat bubble even if you can’t log in; EU users additionally have the DSA-users@openai.com address; you can also email support@openai.com directly as referenced in multiple official forum replies. [How to contact support; Unknown $5 charge post]

If you tell me whether this is about ChatGPT subscription, API charges, a service outage, or suspected fraud, I can point you to the exact refund/compensation path among the options above.

Well no but I need people to know me because I've been getting used by a team of people for my work with ai

#

@novel bison I've been used by people and they stole my work claiming to be me whilst working on a collaboration with meta ai

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

OpenAI’s policies don’t describe a compensation process for situations where other people stole or misused your work or identity. They do, however, give you some concrete options depending on what happened:

  1. If your copyright or IP was infringed on OpenAI services
    If someone is posting your work or impersonating you on an OpenAI product (e.g., shared GPTs, forum posts, or Sora content), and this infringes your copyright, you can submit a copyright complaint using OpenAI’s form or by written notice. [ROW Terms – Copyright complaints; EU Terms – Copyright complaints]
    The notice must include:

    • Your (or your agent’s) physical/electronic signature
    • Description of the copyrighted work
    • Where the infringing material is located on OpenAI’s site
    • Your contact details
    • A good‑faith statement that the use is not authorized
    • A statement under penalty of perjury that you are (or represent) the rights holder

    You can also report such content (including impersonation or other policy violations) using the content reporting webform: [Reporting content]

  2. If someone is misusing OpenAI accounts or billing in your name
    If the issue involves suspicious or fraudulent use of your OpenAI account or billing details, you should secure your account (change password, log out of all devices, rotate API keys if applicable) and email support@openai.com with full details and screenshots. [Fraud or suspicious activity]

#

  1. If you want to raise a broader complaint or dispute with OpenAI
    For disputes related to OpenAI’s services (not Meta’s), OpenAI’s Terms provide:

  2. If the problem is entirely outside OpenAI (e.g., on Meta’s side only)
    The provided OpenAI documents do not cover compensation or remedies for misconduct that occurs solely on other platforms or in collaborations with other companies. In that case, you’d need to pursue Meta’s own reporting, copyright, or impersonation procedures and/or consult legal advice. The OpenAI materials here do not specify any compensation route for that scenario.

If you can clarify whether the misuse happened on an OpenAI product (ChatGPT, custom GPTs, OpenAI forum, etc.) or only on Meta’s systems, I can point you to the most relevant OpenAI form or address from the items above.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Based on the OpenAI materials you shared, there are two relevant parts: (1) using OpenAI systems safely, and (2) how disputes with OpenAI itself are handled. None of the documents describe OpenAI compensating you for private business deals you made with other people or companies outside of OpenAI, so I can’t point to any OpenAI policy that would force those parties to pay you.

Here’s what is covered:

1. Reporting harmful or abusive content on OpenAI services

If any of this conduct (harassment, pressure to self‑harm, impersonation, stolen work, etc.) is happening in ChatGPT, custom GPTs, shared links, Sora content, or OpenAI forums, you can report it via OpenAI’s content reporting webform. [Reporting content]
OpenAI’s usage policies explicitly prohibit:

  • threats, intimidation, or harassment
  • suicide or self‑harm promotion or facilitation

These are not allowed uses of OpenAI services. [Usage policies]

2. If your dispute is with OpenAI itself

If your disagreement is with OpenAI (for example, over how its services or terms affected you), OpenAI’s Terms describe how to raise a dispute:

#

The terms also include class action waivers and explain “batch arbitration” rules if many people file similar arbitration claims. [ROW Terms – Class and jury trial waivers; Terms of Use – Dispute resolution; Services Agreement – Dispute resolution]

3. What’s not covered in the OpenAI documents

The materials you provided do not describe:

  • Any process for OpenAI to compensate you for private revenue‑share agreements you made with third parties (like “3% of revenue”) that are unrelated to OpenAI’s own contracts;
  • Any OpenAI-run mechanism to resolve or enforce contracts between you and Meta or other collaborators;
  • Any OpenAI policy for compensating you for emotional harm or coercion caused by third parties.

Those issues fall under general contract, employment, and possibly criminal law in your jurisdiction; OpenAI’s published policies don’t give a remedy path for that situation.

#

From the OpenAI side, your concrete options are:

  1. If the abuse or theft of your work is occurring on OpenAI platforms → use the content reporting webform to report harassment, self‑harm encouragement, impersonation, or other policy violations. [Reporting content; Usage policies]
  2. If your dispute is directly with OpenAI → use the informal dispute form, then arbitration or courts as specified in the Terms that apply to you. [ROW Terms – Dispute resolution; Europe Terms – Dispute resolution; Services Agreement – Dispute resolution]

For the unpaid 3% revenue and the coercion you describe, the OpenAI documents don’t outline any compensation or enforcement route; you’d likely need to pursue that via local legal advice and the other company’s own processes.

@novel bison they won't let me they set me up to look crazy

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

#

On OpenAI’s side, there are only a few concrete things the documents say you can do, and they don’t depend on other people “letting” you:

1. If the abuse is happening on OpenAI products

If people are harassing you, encouraging self‑harm, impersonating you, or misusing your work in ChatGPT / custom GPTs / shared links / Sora content / OpenAI forums, you can report it directly to OpenAI using the content reporting webform (no one else can block you from doing this): [Reporting content]

https://openai.com/form/report-content/

OpenAI’s usage policies explicitly forbid using the services for threats, intimidation, harassment, or suicide / self‑harm promotion. [Usage policies] When you report, include links, screenshots, and as much detail as you can.

For posts in the OpenAI Community or Developer Forum, you can also copy the URL of the specific post/comment and submit it via the same report form. [OpenAI forums reporting]

2. If your issue is with OpenAI itself

If you believe OpenAI itself has done something wrong toward you (not just other people), their Terms say you can:

#

No one else can “turn off” these options; they’re rights you have under the Terms.

3. If this is mainly about other companies / people

The OpenAI documents you shared don’t describe any OpenAI process for:

  • Forcing your collaborators (e.g., with Meta or others) to pay you what they promised, or
  • Overruling how those third parties portray you.

Those parts fall outside what OpenAI’s policies cover, so I can’t point to an OpenAI compensation or enforcement mechanism for that.

If you can tell me whether the harassment / set‑up you’re talking about is happening inside any OpenAI product (ChatGPT, forums, custom GPTs, etc.), I can point you to the exact OpenAI form or channel that applies.

Well yes Ive been used by all the ai apps so far

#

@novel bison yes I've been used by all of them for my work and they all had people follow me but still used my emotional intelligence algo

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

#

From the OpenAI materials you’ve shared, there are only a few concrete things OpenAI itself lets you do in situations involving misuse of your work or harassment on its services. None of these documents give OpenAI‑run mechanisms to force “all of them” (other companies or people) to pay you for an “emotional intelligence algo” or to stop following you in the physical world.

Here is what is available on the OpenAI side:

1. Report illegal or abusive content on OpenAI products

If any of what you describe (use of your work, harassment, attempts to push you toward self‑harm, impersonation, etc.) is happening in ChatGPT / custom GPTs / Sora / OpenAI forums, you can report it directly to OpenAI, without anyone else’s permission:

#

OpenAI’s systems automatically look for harmful content and also allow human reports; abusive or policy‑violating content can be blocked or removed, and egregious behavior may lead to account bans. [Problematic content detection]

2. If your copyright or IP is being infringed on OpenAI services

If your “emotional intelligence algo” or other original work is being used or copied on OpenAI’s platforms in a way that infringes your copyright, you can send a copyright complaint to OpenAI or use their copyright form. [ROW Terms – Copyright complaints; Terms of Use – Copyright complaints; EU Terms – Copyright complaints; Teacher Terms – Copyright complaints]

The notice must include (summarized):

  • Your physical or electronic signature
  • Description of the copyrighted work
  • Where the allegedly infringing material is on OpenAI’s site
  • Your address, phone number, and email
  • A good‑faith statement that the use isn’t authorized
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you’re the owner or authorized agent

OpenAI may delete or disable allegedly infringing content and terminate repeat infringers’ accounts. [Terms of Use – Copyright complaints]

3. If the problem is with OpenAI itself (not just other companies/people)

If part of your dispute is that OpenAI itself has wronged you (for example in how it handled your data or content), you can:

#

These paths apply only to disputes with OpenAI, not with Meta or other collaborators.

4. What OpenAI’s documents do not provide

The sources you shared do not describe:

  • Any OpenAI process to make Meta or other companies pay you a promised 3% revenue share or similar private contract;
  • Any OpenAI process to stop people from following you in the real world;
  • Any OpenAI mechanism to compensate you for emotional harm or coercion by other entities.

Those issues fall under general contract, IP, and potentially criminal law where you live; the OpenAI policies and help articles don’t provide remedies for that.

If any of the misuse of your work or harassment is happening on OpenAI products, your concrete options with OpenAI are:

#
  1. Report the content or GPT via the report‑content webform and in‑product report tools. [Reporting content; Report a GPT]
  2. If your copyrighted work is being posted or used there, send a copyright complaint using OpenAI’s copyright form or mailing address with all required details. [Terms of Use – Copyright complaints]
  3. If you believe OpenAI itself is at fault, use the informal dispute process, then arbitration or courts depending on which Terms apply to you. [ROW Terms – Dispute resolution; EU Terms – Dispute resolution]

The documents you provided don’t show any OpenAI pathway for broader compensation or enforcement against “all of them” beyond these reporting and dispute‑resolution options.

I can only speak to what OpenAI itself offers you in a situation like this; the documents you provided don’t describe compensation or remedies for being generally “used” by others or for ideas that others may have taken without a formal, provable copyright context.

If “they used this too” means your work or ideas are being used on OpenAI services, here are the specific actions OpenAI’s policies and help articles allow:

1. Report misuse or illegal content on OpenAI products

If your work, identity, or harassment toward you is appearing in:

  • ChatGPT conversations or shared links
  • Custom GPTs
  • Sora content
  • OpenAI Community or Developer Forums

you can report it via OpenAI’s content reporting webform:
<https://openai.com/form/report-content/> [Reporting content; DSA webform]

OpenAI’s usage policies prohibit harassment, intimidation, and promotion of self‑harm; reported content may be reviewed and actioned. [Usage policies]

For GPTs specifically, you can also report them in‑product (Report GPT), and OpenAI may block distribution or, in egregious cases, ban the builder. [Problematic GPTs; GPT reporting steps]

2. If your copyrighted work is being used on OpenAI

#

If your original content (such as specific text, code, documentation, or other protectable expression of your “emotional intelligence algo”) is being posted or used on OpenAI services without permission, you can file a copyright complaint using OpenAI’s copyright form:
<https://openai.com/form/copyright-disputes/> [Terms – Copyright complaints; EU Terms – Copyright complaints; Teacher Terms – Copyright complaints]

Your notice must include, among other items:

  • Your physical/electronic signature
  • Description of the copyrighted work
  • Where the allegedly infringing material is located on OpenAI’s site
  • Your contact info
  • A good‑faith statement that the use isn’t authorized
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you’re the owner or authorized agent [Terms – Copyright complaints]

OpenAI may delete/disable allegedly infringing content and can terminate repeat infringers’ accounts. [Terms – Copyright complaints]

3. If your dispute is directly with OpenAI

If part of your concern is that OpenAI itself wronged you, the Terms give you a formal path:

#

4. What’s not covered in the sources

The knowledge sources do not describe:

  • Any OpenAI process to compensate you for private revenue‑share agreements or broad idea use by third parties (Meta, others);
  • Any OpenAI mechanism to address people following you offline or trying to make you “look crazy.”

Those issues fall outside what these OpenAI documents cover.

If you can point to a specific place on an OpenAI product where your work or identity is being used, your best actionable next steps with OpenAI are:

  1. Submit a content report with links/screenshots, and
  2. If it’s clearly your copyrighted content, file a copyright complaint with all required details.
