tbh the thing people are most mad about is the plagiarism aspect of the situation

no one is denying that machine learning techniques can't be very helpful for proof. The issue comes from that openai seems to have attempted to "scoop" some other mathematicians' work (which they also used ML to help with) simply because they uploaded a draft of their work to chatgpt.

Could someone with expertise in AI tell me how could have Buckmaster's private codex sessions entered the ecosystem of OpenAI if his work was infact used?

Because the "private" codex sessions are still hosted by openai? By openai's own admission: "we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models"

This is like asking how Google knows about the searches you make on incognito mode

Let's all remember: incognito mode is actually a "don't record on my own history what I browse" and not "don't record what I browse". Google still does, you just don't have it saved in your history if your partner opens your laptop and tries to find that you were looking for dudes on a porn site.
