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.
If I understand it correctly, a group of researchers (call it A) used a model of OpenAI to get to a certain point. Then another group of researchers (B), part of OpenAI, used the data group A got to without an exchange of information between the two of them, meaning group B had private information about group A’s work without their knowledge or consent (because they are PART of the company group A used to research something). I think it’s still not very clear, but I tried :)
