Sam Altman just confirmed what lawyers have been saying for over a year: There’s no legal privilege when you use ChatGPT. So if you’re pasting in contracts, asking legal questions, or asking it for strategy, you’re not getting legal advice. You’re generating discoverable evidence. No attorney-client privilege. No confidentiality. No ethical duty. No one to protect you. It might feel private, safe, and convenient. But lawyers are bound to protect you. ChatGPT isn’t—and can be used against you.
