2 Posts by Stephen Hall on Hallucinations So Accurate Fiction Could Be the Truth or Worse via Brett Caughran

by Larry Chiang on July 9, 2025

Heard a wild AI anecdote today
Investment analyst doing research on a company. Finds a piece of information that feels proprietary or hard to know. Presses the LLM for a source, “I don’t have a source for this information”. Presses again, “this is from board minutes of XYZ company”. Holy crap.
I do a little research to check this, and it’s clearly stated that personal ChatGPT conversations can be used in training. Apparently, proprietary internal information from one employee (presumably using a retail, not Enterprise version) becomes translated to an investment analyst indirectly via LLM training process.
Almost feels like a potential script for Billions…and a brand new sandbox for MNPI lawyers…

this feels like the classic ‘is the facebook app listening to us’ debate. no, it’s not, it doesn’t have to.

highly doubt these were real board minutes that got trained into the model and leaked. the reality is worse: nothing is private because what’s private is just too easy to predict…
