The issue is that communications with A.I. are not privileged like client-attorney. There was some judge that made that ruling.
Feels like a conflict of interests to me, I'd guess friends, neighbors, children and nieces of that judge enjoying their livelihood by charging for legal services. While legal services are now available under substantially lower rates and with a lot fewer conflicts of interests from A.I. providers...

  Don't care, saved $20,000. Superintelligence can have the details, I am too boring to threaten skynet / unplug any of it's GPUs (personal case). I'm sure it has something better to do than come after me.

    People can’t know for sure that they saved anything until all statute of limitations have expired without a lawsuit!
