ChatGPT Is Not Your Lawyer (or Therapist)

Think ChatGPT is your confessional? Think again. Those chats aren’t private and could be handed over in legal cases.

Here’s the quick truth:

• OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns there is no legal confidentiality when using ChatGPT for therapy or sensitive personal conversations because there’s no policy framework like doctor-patient or attorney-client privilege.

• In contrast to a doctor or lawyer, conversations with the AI don’t enjoy legal protections—meaning your chats could be subpoenaed or requested in court.

• Altman admits this lack of privacy is a major issue and could hinder the broader adoption of AI tools for such use cases. OpenAI is aware of the challenge, especially as courts in ongoing lawsuits (like a New York Times case) have tried to demand records of user chats.

• Currently, OpenAI is appealing data demands that could compromise user privacy; however, it is evident that laws have not yet adapted to these new realities of AI.

• The sensitivity of data also echoes broader concerns, as illustrated after Roe v. Wade’s reversal, when users shifted toward private and encrypted apps for personal data.

• Altman suggests users should be very cautious and seek privacy clarity before sharing sensitive matters with AI. Until new privacy laws are formed, users should assume there’s no confidentiality in what they share with ChatGPT and similar bots.

Personal take: AI chatbots like ChatGPT aren’t protected by attorney-client privilege or therapist confidentiality. Until clear regulations exist, treat your AI conversations as public, not private.

Tesla & Samsung’s Billion-Dollar Chip Pact

Tesla signed a $16.5 billion deal with Samsung Electronics. This is more than just a piece of tech news; it represents a significant corporate power struggle.

• The agreement, set to run through 2033, is a major boost for Samsung’s foundry business, which has been struggling financially and lagging behind market leader TSMC.

• Production of Tesla’s AI6 chips will take place at Samsung’s new semiconductor facility in Taylor, Texas. Musk stated Tesla will assist directly in maximizing manufacturing efficiency at the plant, which is situated near his own residence.

• The Taylor plant had previously faced delays and lacked major clients; the Tesla order is seen as a lifeline, even though it represents just a portion of Samsung’s logic chip revenues.

• Current AI4 chips for Tesla’s Full Self-Driving come from Samsung, while TSMC is expected to manufacture the AI5 chip, with the AI6 production potentially following in 2027 or 2028.

• Samsung’s foundry business holds only 8% of the global market, trailing TSMC’s 67%. This deal is expected to reduce Samsung’s heavy foundry-related losses, estimated at $3.6 billion in just the first half of the year.

Personal take: This deal could fast-track better self-driving tech in your next Tesla, bringing smoother, smarter features to everyday drivers. Equipped with Samsung's advanced chips, Teslas can process more data in real time, potentially leading to safer roads and more AI-powered conveniences.
