LLMs are being shoved into so many bits of software (office suites, programming tools, etc.) it doesn't surprise me that something like this has happened.
Law people have a duty to be up to date on this stuff tho. If you dont know how to avoid LLMs from seeing or interacting with your stuff then you shouldnt be allowed to practice law.
To really be sure would require knowing what software is actually doing - not just taking the claims made by the programmers (or more likely, the mere owners) of the proprietary software.
That sounds doubly difficult job.
Pretty sure there is such a thing as legally certified software where the liability would then lie with the software vendor.
