It’s definitely cost. There are other ways to make it generate text that is similar to training data without needing it to endlessly repeat words so I doubt OpenAI cares.

It doesn’t endlessly repeat, there’s a cap on token generation per request. It absolutely is because of the recent “exploit”

I don’t think they would care if it didn’t get popular and having thousands of people trying it out, eating up huge amount of compute resources.
It’s a known quirk of LLMs.

Sure, but this cannot be free.

I think that they were referring to the exploit that was recently published. Google researchers were able to reliably get the LLM to output training data verbatim, including PII.
To me, this reads as damage control for that. Especially as they are being sued for copyright infringement, which they and their proponents have been claiming is impossible (clearly, they were either wrong or lying).
