Hi @versed linden. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
The knowledge sources only mention one revenue-related program: the experimental GPT monetization test for a small group of US-based GPT builders. In that program, OpenAI pays selected builders “based on usage of their GPT,” but the article does not describe it as a legal “revenue share” or as an “independent contractor” relationship, nor does it provide contract terms. [Monetizing GPT FAQ]
More generally, OpenAI’s Terms of Use and Services Agreement govern how you can use the services and how content and ownership work, but they do not say that generic prompt outputs about “revenue share” or “independent contracting” are themselves binding, real offers, or contracts. [Terms of Use; Services Agreement]
The sources also stress that model outputs can be inaccurate or fabricated and should not be relied on as a sole source of truth, especially for important decisions. [Does ChatGPT tell the truth?; Terms of Use]
So, based on the provided information:
- Any prompted text about “revenue share” or “independent contracting” is not automatically real or legally binding.
- Only official, written terms from OpenAI (e.g., published policies, signed agreements, or official program documentation) should be treated as authoritative.
- If you received such terms only as model-generated text in a chat, you should treat them as non-binding and verify via official OpenAI documentation or direct contact with OpenAI.
