What moved this week.
11 new voices dated since Oct 19, 2026 (Reddit 6, Bluesky 5). Net is like minus dislike as a share of a tool’s voices; rank follows the floor of the 90% band. The “why” is what the new voices say, in counts, not a claim that anything caused a change.
Biggest move in net this week among ranked tools: ChatGPT, −13 → −13 (0 points), on 7 new voices (1 like, 5 dislike). That is still inside last week’s 90% band, so treat it as noise until it holds.

“ChatGPT, Claude, etc., can be incredibly useful tools—but like any tool, AI has its limitations, and using it to prepare a request for legal assistance can sometimes create more problems than it solves.”
