The LLMs are not even that good at law. I have a license agreement that I wanted to turn into General Terms and Conditions and they kept failing or rewriting the whole thing from scratch when a competent lawyer would just do a few pinpoint changes

I found the opposite to be true. Did you use a legal specific plugin?

Woah just tried Sonnet with Legal plugin and it's scary! It did a decent job of putting the stuff I wanted in place but it made subtle corrections all over the place (deleting "but not limited to", "reasonable effort", "and all related interests", "(including any termination and refund rights)" all of which may be unnecessary or crucial but I don't trust Sonnet over the lawyer who put them in place in the first place!). Removing these had nothing to do with the task I've asked Sonnet to do.

No, just Cline with Qwen 3.5 35B A3B.

I was thinking it's highly confidential (contract!) but thinking about it again I'll just publish the T&Cs so it didn't make sense to protect it.
