Before anyone working on commercial code bases thinks to use this, stop. Uploaded code becomes part of OpenAI.


This is not true anymore, they changed their terms so this is now opt in.


It's still probably extemely against any reasonable business's code of conduct.


That you're getting downvoted for an obvious statement like this suggests to me a lot of HNers are disclosing trade secrets and proprietary code to OpenAI that they know damn well they shouldn't.


Why would it be? Most businesses have no issue hosting private stuff on cloud or in github private repos.

TOS and trust matter the most.


Because the business has those relationships worked out. I can't just decide that I trust OpenAI and send my company's code over, that would be insanity.


I always think about this when using a free online prettifier, decoder, and the like. But I'm sure people use those things with code/secrets from work without really considering it, and I think those habits will carry right over to AI chat.


FYI, prettier.io is open source and can be self-hosted. Also if you watch the website’s network traffic, you won’t see it uploading anything to a server: it’s all done client-side.


Good to know!
