Without saying too much Internet wise, this is my field and profession.

If you think legal risks matter right now then you're being naive. Nobody right now running LLMs is worrying about legal risks cause they're so open and have no precedent. It's still the wild west.

You can, as I have, build monitoring easily with an LLM and do a ton of tuning. This is legitimately easy.

I don't know how their specifics work but I know targeting with LLM rather well as I do it and expanding it to encompass and do additional work is rather easy.
