I'm sure you knew this, but just in case you needed a reminder:

everything you type into a chat-client provided by a third party is recorded and can be used against you.everything you type into a chat-client provided by a third party is recorded and can be used against you.

I suppose that things like Maple and Venice are better, but I've not actually looked too deeply into the matter.

Anyhow, in this case, guy used chat to research his case:

Prosecutors allege that Kim diverted about $3.8 million from a $4.3 million fundraising round for Zero Edge and that, following his arrest, he used ChatGPT to research his case, including his trial strategy. Court filings indicate that Kim may also have used the AI to generate numerous prompts related to misappropriating investor funds, cryptocurrency trading and gambling.

Kim's lawyers tried to block a search warrant, arguing that the chatbot data contains privileged information and research related to the case. According to the defense, those digital records should be protected, as they would expose Kim's internal thoughts, defense tactics and trial strategy. 

Prosecutors countered that for the attorney-client privilege to apply, a conversation must be confidential between a human and a licensed legal professional for the purpose of obtaining legal advice. An AI chatbot cannot be a lawyer.

Schofield's ruling does not determine whether Kim's ChatGPT records are protected by attorney-client privilege, but it does allow the warrant to proceed, meaning the defense cannot stop OpenAI from complying. Kim may still challenge specific records afterward.

Fun times ahead!
