If you can't understand the original document, you can't verify any LLM's rewrite. Ask a real lawyer for help.

That's a bit extreme? In general yes they should get a lawyer but I'm not calling mine every time Facebook updates their eula or whatever. But more than that, are we going to pretend that having the answer doesn't make solving a math problem easier? You might have gotten the wrong answer yourself but with the key you can figure out how to get there. Or with language, I have maybe an a2 reading comprehension in Turkish, but if I have the translation already I can be sure I'm remembering words correctly and suddenly I'm more like b1. I won't trust the translation 100% if it's Google translate or whatever but it still gets me a lot further than if I had nothing.

If you trust LLM users to even try comprehending anything with their own brains, I have a bridge to sell you.
