Why would you send your data to the company that built its value by slurping up everyone's data without consent? It doesn't matter what they promise now, they have shown that they dont care about intellectual property, copyright or any of that. They literally cannot be trusted.
Isn't this what Google search does? Yet Google Docs, Gmail, etc are all OK?
It doesn't matter either way. What matters is that Google offers proper enterprise contracts. Contracts that are enforceable and transfer a lot of legal liability to the vendor. OpenAI, generally, does not offer such things.
Google Search itself is a somewhat special case - it gets a free pass because of its utility and because you're unlikely to paste anything confidential into a search box. But there are many places where even Google Search is banned on the data security grounds.
OpenAI offerings - ChatGPT, the playground, and the API - all very much encourage pasting large amounts of confidential information into them, which is why any organization with minimum of legal sense is banning or curtailing their use.
