"Lawyers and legal professionals are lulled into thinking it's no big deal and there won't be any harm or consequences. But that's not so."
"Part of this complacency stems from assuming that by toggling off the switch that allows the tool to use inputted information to train it, confidential material is protected from an ethical and practical standpoint."

Lawyers often input sensitive information into these tools, mistakenly believing they are protected by privacy settings.

It is crucial to recognize the dangers of exposing client data in public-facing AI systems and to practice caution when using such technologies.
