The obvious business opportunity here is for some lawyer to start running an AI service to do these kinds of things. Anyone who subscribes is a client of the lawyer, who owns the chatbot infrastructure, which would be protected under attorney client privilege.

The buisness opportunity is what they are advertising here, communication with lawyers is protected, continue to go pay real lawyers for every question and don't try yourself with AI, that is unfortunately not protected.
