I keep seeing phrases along the lines of “the OpenAI agent accessed both public and private [Medicare] files” in news articles.

The journalists are adopting the OpenAI method of treating their software as a third person and an independent party and it’s not good enough.

OpenAI accessed both public and private Medicare files. OpenAI then failed to report it for several months. OpenAI own the software they wrote and news outlets shouldn’t be adopting the language of their PR department.
