Data leakage risk when uploading non-public information to consumer-grade LLMs

Problem

After watching Greg Kroah-Hartman's talk on LLM security, a user highlighted the risk of data leakage when uploading non-public code or credentials to free consumer-grade LLMs, which may train on the data and expose it later. Currently, enterprise plans claim not to do this but may make mistakes, so users must exercise caution in practice.

NEVER upload any non-public information - He's talking about how if you give Claude/GPT some secret info (like research, credentials, etc), it will train on it and give the same info to someone else. This is 100% the case for the free and consumer versions of these models, which is what most people use. For Enterprise plans they're not supposed to be doing this, but it's possible they will screw up and do it anyway.
