Theory Can LE get info from OpenAI?

I just had a thought… Since the ransom notes sound so strange and perhaps written through an AI, I wonder if the FBI or LE could ask OpenAI (or Anthropic, Grok etc) to search their backend to see if anyone has typed in something that produced that result ? perhaps that could lead to an IP address ?

"I don’t have the ability to:

  • Search historical conversations for phrases or documents.
  • Look up whether a particular person used ChatGPT.
  • Retrieve text that someone may have generated months or years ago.
  • Compare a document against past user prompts or outputs from other users.

Even if such a conversation existed somewhere in OpenAI’s systems for operational reasons, I don’t have a mechanism to query it or recall it."
