Couldn't this same argument be used to warn staff about entering data into Gmail, Google Sheets, Google Cloud...? None of those are end-to-end encrypted and companies using them are "leaking" their info to Google.
I don't think this is true. Quite the opposite, they can do what they want with your data including training models with data you've given them in the past.
OpenAI has clearly stated that they will use user input for training so it's now Google's responsibility to keep their confidential information from ChatGPT inputs, assuming that OpenAI can make unintentional mistakes. What's wrong in here? And your claim is a completely different story, Google and other cloud services clearly state that they will handle user data separately so it's their liability if something goes wrong. And you're trying to insist that they will secretly use user data for whatever they want, breaking their public promises and putting their own business at severe legal risks. So tell me, why would they do that?
> We already know that state level actors are hoovering up civilian data en masse, so this is probably already happening.
Please don't put your own precious conspiracy unless you have plausible evidence. That only harms the credibility of your claim and deteriorate signal to noise ratio in this forum.
This isn't speculative. We know that the government uses Google (and others) to access pretty much all data on the internet:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM
From the article:
> Internal NSA presentation slides included in the various media disclosures show that the NSA could unilaterally access data and perform "extensive, in-depth surveillance on live communications and stored information" with examples including email, video and voice chat, videos, photos, voice-over-IP chats (such as Skype), file transfers, and social networking details.
^ all of that is going to be going into models.
Considering their chat product is less than a year old, and has had multiple bugs that expose chats to other customers, and has been shown to not be honoring “delete” requests… I think it’s safe to say that there’s evidence that OpenAI is sufficiently negligent even if not nefarious.
Oh that’s to say nothing of the actual data being used in training. Imagine if a bing engineer can just ask a GPT for info on what google is planning and it spits out data it was trained on? Big risk.
Generally companies don’t let other companies play with their data. This may be happening on personal gmail accounts but it’s not happening on corporate accounts.

Google also buys credit card transaction histories...
Yes I think this ongoing thread about AI in corporate environments logically casts a light on re-evaluating how much we trust cloud services (Gmail, Google Sheets, etc).
Perhaps the "meta" is the pendulum is swinging back to self hosted/managed email? sysadmins rejoice!
An arbitrary person can't ask a public gmail endpoint, "what websites is u/bluefishinit subscribed to and what are their other usernames?" and expect to get a reply.
The concern is that the information added to CGPT is getting incorporated into the public models for everyone in the world to access. That's the difference between Docs or whatever and CGPT.
But there is exactly zero control Google has over the confidential data entered in tools and forms that don't belong to them.
Your use of ChatGPT is not protected by any such provisions.
