This is what I don't get. Not only have they not said otherwise, but they put it right up front in a pretty easy to understand brief message before you start using it. I guess lawyers just click agree without reading too.

People are accustomed to ignoring the fine print as legal CYA with no real-world relevance. This is also why the product warnings that "The State of California considers this to cause cancer" are a joke and not a useful message.
It’s not even fine print, there is a big Limitations section almost at the top of the chatgpt landing page with this as first bullet:

”ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers.”

It does admittedly sound innocent, it should be written with a more scary tone on to how big extent it bullshits, not just “sometimes”. Still doesn’t excuse the incompetence of the lawyer in question.
