The comment you replied to quoted "no user inputs after July 3rd" with no restriction to Buckmaster or Codex.

Obviously the result of OpenAI's investigation was that no usage data has interacted with the system after that date.

What else do you expect them to investigate?

If Buckmaster and co. provide their chats, OpenAI could potentially search for them in the anonymized opted-in usage data. Then they could say if any data has been used.

By all accounts individual usage data does not have the direct impact on the model most here fantasize about. To prove this, OpenAI would need to do new training runs to replicate the system used minus the particular usage data in question, if it exists, and then benchmark this on the problem again.

Potentially multiple times, in order to reach a conclusion.

The cost might be in the hundreds of millions.
