Do they train on your data? I don't necessarily want competitors to be able to just ask it to make a clone and have it do so from memory next month.

Software has rarely been the moat. Or file formats. You have always been able to reverse engineer them. The problem, always, has been network effects.

I can build an entire, fairly useful, spreadsheet app over a weekend. But can I send my "expenses.cells" files to my accountant? Will it work with the Excel/Google docs he uses?

AI can build or reverse engineer anything as long as you are motivated enough to do it.

I don't see why that is a concern when decomps and recomps are already blooming, they can copy your app down to the atom.
