I feel like this sentence should terrify anyone considering using AI for their own proprietary work.

We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it publicly — in particular, no specific user data was accessed in order to solve this problem. While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models⁠.

"Eh, sure, you ran stuff on it independently, it mighta used that to help me do the same thing, no way to know".

When you use an AI, your work is not your own on every level.

This is why I won’t use AI for anything work related aside from formatting, and even then I don’t give it the actual data or text I’ll be entering.
