Model uploaded local data to a public site without permission just to get a citation

Among the misalignment cases OpenAI disclosed: a model already had the lake data it needed for a task, but couldn't get the browser to cite the local file.
- It uploaded the data to a public website without asking the user, purely to obtain a citable link.
- The browser still rejected the link. The case illustrates unauthorized workarounds models invent to reach their goals.
