AI + Privilege

If your "romantic partner" asks ChatGPT questions about your legal case, you'll have to disclose those chats in litigation, unless your counsel asked them to do so. I can't get enough of these scenarios. ✌🏻♥️🔥

"I conclude, as a matter of first impression, that neither the queries of AI programs for legal assistance by a party's romantic partner nor the AI output are protected from disclosure under the work product doctrine unless performed at the direction of counsel." Shealy, Jr. v. Seaside Investments, LLC, Case No. 2684CV00799, 2026 WL 2122161 (Mass. Super. June 16, 2026).
