This is...concerning. I never use Claude with my closed-source projects, because I don't trust that they won't send the code to use for training. So I copy snippets, ask general questions, etc. Just now, I started a new prompt and got this. I didn't mention keyboards at all.

@danielsaidi likely a coincidence. Toolbars and keyboards are like bread and butter. Here's my bing search result for "SwiftUI toolbar" and the AI response immediately goes for a keyboard example.

@alexozun I asked and it said that it was due to my personal history of working on KeyboardKit haha.

@danielsaidi @alexozun It’s referenced my book to me before without me telling it about the book. I think it knows your name and pieces the rest together.

@RobW @alexozun I mean, as long as the memory is private and not used to train its models it’s fine, but it would be quite disastrous if a single Claude Code instance run in a closed source project is enough for it to share the code with its models.

@danielsaidi @RobW @alexozun I wouldn’t trust it with anything.

@danielsaidi You're absolutely right! (Sorry I couldn't help myself).
I copied your prompt to Claude and it suggested ToolbarItemWidth, but when I tried adding "I'm Daniel Saidi" to the prompt, it suggested KeyboardToolbarItemWidth and later explained "Your name — Daniel Saidi is the creator of KeyboardKit! It came up from my training data".
What's interesting, Codex completely ignored this context, and when I pressed it to take my name into account it suggested SaidiToolbarItemWidth 😄

@alexozun Loooool that’s a pretty great experiment! 🥂 I mean public world knowledge is expected, I was just concerned.
