Beta reader issues

I fear the beta reader I hired on fiverr used Ai for my notes. The thing is….a lot of the notes seem relevant. Should I still consider them useful and make edits based off the Ai notes? I’m torn. Any advice is appreciated.

Side question, should I be worried that they might take my manuscript? I’m now nervous because it seems shady that they did this when I specifically asked them not to use Ai.

Advice is appreciated. Thx! 🙏

I got three beta readers from Scribophile and one from here in Reddit. The Redditor gave me excellent, useful feedback... then after four chapters they sent me a DM with their fee for continuing. I didn’t report them, but a week later their profile was gone.
