Of course maybe there is some fine print I haven’t read, and obviously I get the point that it may not be trustworthy.
edit: whoops I just checked and the “business”/“teams” plans just agree not to use your data for training
Zero data retention is also "trust me dude".
There is no viable way of checking they are actually doing that.
That's assuming they don't put carve-out clauses in, like Anthropic did with Fable, which means data retention is back on the cards, no exceptions.
Also don't forget a zero data retention clause is still subject to the good old "law, or court or administrative order" contract clauses. :)
To get properly close to real zero-retention in a hosted model, you would have to use one of the verifiably private AI that runs in enclaves, e.g. Tinfoil (US) or Privatemode (Germany)[2]. Yes, still not the same as running on your own hardware, but a million lightyears ahead of "zero data retention" "trust me dude" clauses.
I just wanted to know if that other person had proof or not, and I guess they didn’t. I would still rather have some semblance of an agreement than not have one at all — if you’re coding on a consumer plan you should just 100% assume anything you write with it will end up in the training set
