It’s your last point that keeps me up at night. I opt out of letting my data be used for training (and don’t use tools like Gemini that make this very difficult or impossible).

But I have very little reason to trust that they actually don’t use my data. The incentives to violate the data controls are so great with the billions sloshing around AI companies. The worst that would happen if they are found to be abusing my data would be civil penalties (i.e. fines) that I’m sure executives would see as the cost of doing business.

Ideally there would be an attested zero data retention option, but I’m sure that’s not available.

Attestation requires Enclave of some sort, I'm pretty certain they wouldn't want to do this, data is their entire business model.

Their ToS is irrelevant in the cybersecurity sense of things, if it's there in plaintext, it can be used.
