This question was  \nnot answered directly by OpenAI for some time. Eventually it was agreed that  \nit had been sent in the past few days, after information about our work had  \nreached OpenAI.\n\nI asked whether the model had been trained on, or had access to, our sessions  \nin Codex, into which we had been putting all our drafts for the whole of this  \nproject. I was told the model did not look up user data. I asked again, about  \ntraining, and I did not get an answer.\"",
