ChatGPT is cool and all but I often feel people are too naive when using these tools, with little consideration as to how their inputs are used, if the output is copyright protected, etc.

No. Not in the slightest.
I have come across large chunks (200+ lines) of a former employer's proprietary source code on StackOverflow a couple times. It was always from the same team/functional area, so it may have been tacitly accepted by the immediate management. Or, more likely, the team valued fixing code as fast as possible over actually thinking about what you are doing.
Basically, if there are developers willing to dump proprietary source on SO, there are developers willing to dump the whole codebase into ChatGPT.
