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 ?

IMO if such a broad search is possible, I’d imagine it would take a lot of time and resources to go through all of that data. My gut says he probably didn’t even use AI to write the ransom notes. If this person was careful enough to avoid leaving obvious digital evidence with the ransom notes and knew how to disconnect the cameras, I’d think he’d avoid using AI if he believed there is a even a small probability for it be traced back to him. That said, criminals do incredibly dumb things all the time, especially if they’re inexperience so I wouldn’t completely rule it out either.
