Cheaters complain about use of hidden prompts to snare AI peer reviews

AI (or rather LLM’s) use is becoming more & more common and one of the issues with it (amongst many) is that when you ask it to summarize/process/or whatever something you have to upload that content to servers that are outside your control, then to make things worse a lot of these services use the data uploaded to further train their models. It is not illegal because they have put it in the user agreement that you allow them to use the data in anyway they want.
