How would the outside world find out about private Google code? Maybe the fact could be leaked? Unlikely though.

  An insider could tip them off, then IP owner sues and Google has to produce it during discovery.

    And? For big companies, lawsuits are mostly about being forced to pay money. Rarely does losing a case drive real behavioral change, much less fundamental change. IP getting coughed out of an AI will keep some lawyers busy and result in fig leaf changes.

      The outcome of any IP lawsuit is going to include an order to cease use of the IP. Even a DMCA notice requires cessation. If the infringing code powered a widely used service, replacing the code with a clean room refactor could be arduous and time-consuming and might require a court-appointed monitor to sign off.

  You're way, way under thinking the problem. People who work at your bank right now are pasting your personal details into language models and asking if you deserve a loan. People will figure out how to get this data back out. "But the model only uses old training data" there are myriad lawsuits in flight where these companies took information they shouldn't have, in all forms. Prompt engineers have already got the engines to spew things that are legally damning. A real hack, which might archive user inputs as well as exfiltrate training data. We're only beginning to imagine the nightmare. Can people use these language models to get private Google info? Only if Google was dumb enough to include that in the training. Hint: Yes, it's much, much worse than anyone imagines.
