Remember OpenAI decided GPT 2 was far too dangerous to unleash upon the world when they first trained it!

That's an editorialized headline. What they actually wrote was that it could be used to "generate misleading news articles, impersonate others online, automate the production of abusive or faked content to post on social media, [or] automate the production of spam/phishing content" and that they are aware other researchers have the ability to reproduce and open source their results, but this would give the community some time to decide how to proceed.

They were correct.
