How does that work exactly? Do you have a link?

> Microsoft, OpenAI and I'm pretty sure Anthropic can sell you an Enterprise service that guarantees a certain level of confidentiality

These companies hoovered up all of our content without notice, permission, or compensation, to train their models. I wouldn't trust them one bit. My personal opinion is that it's foolish to trust them.

Paranoid about what exactly?

If you're not going to trust them when they say "here is a contract that guarantees we won't train on your data" because they trained on a scrape of the web, you're never going to get the benefit from these tools. I guess that's your call. I chose to believe companies when they contractually oblige themselves to not do things.
