I doubt it’s only about some Reddit posts. The scrapping was done on the whole web, capturing everything it could. So besides stealing data and presenting it as its own, it seems to have collected some even more problematic data which wasn’t properly protected.
But that really isn't OpenAI's fault. Whoever was in charge of securing the patients data really fucked up.
That’s like saying you didn’t lock your front door so whoever robs you is innocent.
It's more like leaving an important letter in the open for everyone to read. It's certainly your fault for leaving it that open.
