The DA is serious about "in any matter."

> in which it may be viewed by another person

To me, that is the more interesting legal question. Does a LLM-based safety net that sends content to a human, when the original use case would not have sent it to a human, count as "may be viewed by another person". It certainly wasn't intended to be, and that isn't the norm. At the same time, because no security is perfect, we could say that any digital record, stored in any way "may be viewed by another person."

Something for the courts to sort out, of course.

Is the LLM now "another person"?
