Original Reddit post

I have recently identified an idea for a software product that I am currently exploring and believe is worth pursuing. ​I also happened to stumble upon a journalist’s unflattering opinion about the CEO of one of the popular LLM providers a few days ago. Regardless of whether the accusations are true, they prompted me to think: how safe is it to use existing AI chatbots (Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to explore and develop business ideas? ​It’s one thing to use your favorite AI chatbot to investigate if an idea “has teeth” and if there is a market for it. One could argue that since you haven’t developed anything yet, everything is fair game. However, when I use an AI to spare and figure out the actual mechanics of the product and to build it, I feel that I am effectively sharing the “keys to the kingdom” (assuming there is a actually meat on what I’m building) with an organization that has orders of magnitude more resources than I do to build and market it. Is anyone else also worried that AI chatbots might be monitored to identify and “pre-empt” high-potential ideas or actual products? submitted by /u/2thick2fly
