I spent some time this week going through the whole suite of OpenAI agreements and policies and was quite surprised at what I found in their Terms of Use (TOU). Keep in mind that like the GitHub TOU discussed with respect to Copilot, the OpenAI TOU includes all of OpenAI’s affiliates, current and future, so there is no telling what the input data could potentially be used for in the future and as we’ve seen with Copilot, people can be unpleasantly surprised by unexpected uses down the line. Again, provided that OpenAI strips the input of any personally identifiable information (which they explicitly state is a practice they perform), the input can be used by OpenAI without any confidentiality obligations
