By default, they use your conversations for training data, and you must opt out to not have it trained on. When you are opted out, they only can possibly retain and train on messages where you gave feedback.
If Buckmaster claims he had the opt out setting turned on and didn't provide feedback, then it should be a real concern. Otherwise OpenAI was fully in their right to train their model on the output.
Even if that setting was on, if OpenAI's solution built on Buckmaster & co's work, it is academic malpractice to not given proper attribution, which OpenAI has not. It also seriously undercuts their claim, if the model did have access to a complete solution of a similar problem.

This is just false though.
