OpenAI is as open as North Korea is democratic. North Korea full and official name is "Democratic People's Republic of Korea", and there is exactly 0 democracy there. The same with OpenAI, there's zero openness there.

"As part of a separate settlement, also announced in December, Epic agreed to pay a $275 million penalty to settle FTC allegations that the company violated the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Rule.

Double whammy for epic games.

Edit: Had look into what is ,"Dark Pattern Practices" to understand FTC reasoning.
