Ban on Application Cloning in OpenAI and Anthropic Neural Networks

OpenAI and Anthropic have banned the cloning of applications using their neural networks, leading to mass user bans.

Using AI to create analogs

Recently, users began actively creating free alternatives to paid services such as Adobe, MS Office 365, and CapCut. This was done using the REA library and special skills for AI agents that enable software reverse engineering.

Corporate reaction and sanctions

Companies OpenAI and Anthropic implemented safety filters in Claude, Claude Code, Codex, and ChatGPT, completely blocking the ability to clone applications. This decision was made without prior wide announcement.

Consequences for users

Accounts attempting reverse engineering are permanently banned with no possibility of restoration. Subscription refunds are not issued, as confirmed by numerous online complaints.
