Another commenter pointed out that a lot of these models aren't publicly accessible, but will still be used to retrieve information about you - by say employers contracting with a ML company

But they can only be used to retrieve information that is already out there. This is still just using GPT-3 as a search engine, it's just a weird search engine that isn't made to purpose and most of the time produces nice-looking nonsense instead of valid data.

It can also be used to retrieve deleted/delisted information. It's not like an search engine, more like an indexed database.

That's a different issue. And something that can be easier done by purpose-built non-GPT systems.

Nobody said it's easier or more optimal with GPT-3, the problem is that it's possible at all.
