People who use generative AI tools as assistive technology leave a record of work their own minds would otherwise hold. Three parties now want that record: the other side in a lawsuit, the executive branch, and the executives at the user's company. A federal court has ordered an AI provider to preserve and produce chat logs by the million, a magistrate judge has issued a warrant for user data identified by the text of a prompt, and the leading workplace AI products let an employer retain, search, and export everything employees type and everything the tool says back. For a person with executive function limits, as in ADHD, the chat record holds the plans, sequences, and working notes that other people keep in their heads, so the question of who may read it is a question about who may read what the person has thought. This Article argues that existing law already reaches all three readers. Work product doctrine protects an unrepresented litigant's case preparation done with AI, and the Stored Communications Act generally bars providers from answering a civil opponent's subpoena for contents. The warrant requirement of Carpenter and Chatrie governs government access, and the indispensability reasoning behind those decisions applies with greater force to a tool that supports a person's executive function, though no court has yet said so. The Article also marks where the law stops: a valid warrant still reaches the stored transcript, and the wiretap statute's heightened protections attach only to live interception. Against employers, the Americans with Disabilities Act's limits on medical examinations and disability-related inquiries do the work. An AI system built to notice signs of mania or psychosis, used by an employer that requires the tool, administers a test designed at least in part to reveal mental illness, and no routine practice of reading those appraisals across a workforce can meet the business necessity defense. The Article makes three contributions. It applies the medical examination doctrine to the appraisals AI tools write into workplace logs, a question no court has decided. It names the disclosure trap, in which a protection available only to those who prove disability forces a disabled person to give up one privacy to keep another, and the universal design paradox, in which the most accommodating workplace leaves the undisclosed disabled worker least protected. And it shows why the general rules that protect everyone must carry the load, with disability law supplying the reason those rules have to stay strong.
