    I think they mean that a lot of careless people will give the AIs personally identifiable information or other sensitive information. Privacy and security are often breached due to human error, one way or another.

      But these open models don’t really take new input into their models at any point. They don’t normally do that type of inference training.

        That’s true, but no way for us to know that these companies aren’t storing queries in plaintext on their end (although they would run out of space pretty fast if they did that)

      But that’s a human error as you said, the only way to fix it is by using it correctly as an user. AI is a tool and it should be handled correctly like any other tool, be it a knife, a car, a password manager, a video recording program, a bank app or whatever.

      I think a bigger issue here is that many people don’t care about their personal information as much as their lives.
