Too bad dvt deleted their comment calling your comment a low effort and negative, because your point is valid.

Unless OP is using hosted models, especially those with always-on training, that's quite clear cut breaking at least privacy laws, likely more, especially if the court documents are additionally protected.

So that's basically showing the HN how egregiously a number of lawyers, accountants and paralegals "conspire" to break the law in order to process more cases in parallel and earn more money.

I think that's pretty accurate?

If OPs father doesn't want to do it manually they must at least run it locally, or obtain the court permission to share the privileged information with a number of third parties, possibly shoving it into the future corpus of information.

I think OP's being hyperbolic, but defending an idea that is dangerous at worst and immature at best doesn't do much to forward creativity, entrepreneurship, or engineering. Engineers who build products that put people (or their data) in danger are bad engineers. We need to hold one another to a higher standard.

Who are you (or who am I) to decide that? The entire point of a show HN is to be non-judgmental and charitable, otherwise it's just going to turn into a cynical echo-chamber. The famous Dropbox comment is a cautionary tale for a reason.

I could build the greatest healthcare tool in the world, but if it's not HIPAA compliant then it's worthless in the United States. More than that, if I built it without HIPAA compliance in mind as a first principle, what other mistakes did I make on the way?

I'm not trying to gatekeep and say that only domain experts should be allowed to build software, but part of being an engineer is doing due diligence to understand the domain well enough to build the product. If OP failed to recognize that any forensic accountant that gets caught uploading privileged documents into a random AI tool would be both breaking the chain of possession of that document AND client privilege, what other mistakes did they make along the way?

I went through the entire website and couldn't find a single mention about privacy. I'm not a domain expert, but I would expect the product site for any legal tool to at least have a disclaimer.
