Even Radio Shack, during their bankruptcy proceedings, argued that users gave their addresses, phone numbers, and names only for Radio Shack marketing. The judge in the case dismissed that terms of service, and then proceeded to order a sell of that information.
So yeah, the current AI company, whichever one we look at may be ethical and keep everything private. They could be anti-enshittification and do everything right. But all it takes is 1 bad CEO, or a board who wants more money, or a PE firm come in and bankrupt them... and all that data is out in the open.
That's why I run my own LLMs, abliterated (uncensored), and clean up my history when I'm done. I don't trust these companies with my deep secrets, or with back-and-forth that may reveal parts of me I don't want revealed.
But for the public clouds, I don't care if they know I'm uploading an image of various Asian writing and ask for a transliteration and translation. Or simple powershell crap, or "linux tool that can do $thing". Im reasonably sure simplistic question/answer with no further back and forth, is probably safe.
