Don’t get me wrong, I am highly skeptical. I also am genuinely curious because it seems to be in their best interest to delete these records for a few reasons:
1. Adherence to their own customer-facing policy. 2. Corporate or government customers would CERTAINLY want their data handling requirements to be respected. 3. In my experience at $MEGA_CORP, we absolutely delete customer data or never maintain logs at all for ML inference products. 4. They’re a corporation with explicit goal of making money. They’re not interested in assisting LE beyond minimum legal requirements.
But still I wonder what the reality is at OpenAI.

Having a good relation with LE and the state is beneficial to companies, it puts them in a good position to sell them services, get preferential treatment, quid pro quo, etc.
Look at how Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc cozied up to LE and the government. They get billion dollar contracts, partnerships with LE and the more they cooperate willingly, the less likely they'll be sued into cooperation or punished with loss of contracts.
