Yes, but I think that'll change eventually. If you trust hosting your code with a specific cloud provider then you'll probably also trust them for code assist. At least that's my theory.

There'll probably need to be a threat of massive litigation should they fail to comply with such a policy.

Maybe people will trust companies, but those companies will rarely deserve that trust. Anyone that pays attention sees breach announcements almost every day. Security is never a concern for these companies until it embarrasses them. Then, as soon as the negative attention fades, security again becomes the second to last priority.

Do not trust companies with any data that is important to you unless the effective management of that data is required by law, and the laws are comprehensive.

I'm interested in this thought. There is significant motivation for providers to create a verifiable way for them not to deal with having access to client interactions with LLMs at all. Whatever standards and protocols have to be come up with in order to reassure clients.

Any good standards for privacy when interacting with LLMs could also trickle down to smaller providers, and everyone could offer guarantees. Even if the guarantee was literally just an insurance policy and a private court to decide if it pays out.
