You can’t disclaim your legal obligations.
HIPPA is a privacy obligation for healthcare providers.
Other service providers and professionals (legal, accounting, medical, etc.) have obligations, duties and responsibilities to maintain a reasonably competent level of service.
Using "pretend intelligence" opens the door to liability and claims of negligence when (not if) things go wrong.

If you tell me, as a regular non-doctor person in a non-medical setting, that you have the flu, I can share that information with anyone else without violating HIPAA. There was so much misinformation about that during COVID. “Do you have a cough or fever?” “You can’t ask me that! HIPAA!” “Sir, this is a Wendy’s.”
