Rep. Stephanie Borowicz (R-Clinton) objected, “just another step by the governor and Democrats to have the government provide everything for you, which leads to communism."

Although he says OpenAI has since told him that it does not intend to enforce the agreement, and has made similar public commitments, he is still taking a risk by speaking out.
