Isn't his company, OpenAI, the one that said the monitor all communications and will report anyone they think is a threat to the government?

I get they are trying to do something positive overall. At the same time. I don't want corp owned AI that's monitoring everything I ask it.

IIRC it is illegal for the phone company to monitor and censor communications. The government can ask a judge for permission for police to monitor a line but otherwise it's illegal. But now with AI transcription it won't be long until a company can monitor every call, transcribe it, feed to an LLM to judge and decide which lists you should be on.

But there isn’t a person on the other side whom you are reaching through their service. The only communication is between you and the OpenAI server that takes in your input message and produces an output.

I understand that people assume LLMs are private but there isn’t any guarantee that is the case, specially when law enforcement comes knocking.
