The implication is that companies and researchers are leaking confidential data through OpenAI usage, and they might want to do something about that to protect their work
That's a personal fear of mine, and I have first hand knowledge that large companies draft contracts with AI companies to specifically prohibit training and retention of company data. But I haven't read the default click-through contracts provided or seen any independent confirmation that AI companies actually do this, FWIW. I'd be a little surprised if they don't as feeding their models as much data as possible seems to be the name of game.
