r/legaltech · Aug 7, 2026ChatGPTCriticizes“For anything with client names, IDs, medicals, or privileged notes, consumer ChatGPT/Claude is the wrong tier. Those plans can train on or retain inputs unless you have a written enterprise/API deal with zero retention.”open

Copilot

“If so, I demand your Bar Number because you offered negligent advice, like that and not to use Copilot, which I recently did, cross-checked by two more AIs to construct and file a complaint, so maybe I'm familiar with law, just a bit.”
