I'm not sure if you were actually asking the question but regardless the answer is that all of those absolutely can and are regularly used as evidence

Parent comment was asking about attorney-client privilege which means there's an attorney in the communication loop. If the person using a tool is an attorney, then that communication should be protected whether it's by pen or keyboard. But this is an active area of legislation and jurisprudence in relation to AI. I expect some important cases will happen

  • Just because they have a lawyer does not mean things like their browser history and every other example in the comment I replied to would not be permitted as evidence...

    Except for something like specifically looking up a lawyer

Generally seeking counsel for a crime you may end up being accused of isn't going to be admissible as evidence. The "if he's so innocent, why did he hire an attorney" isn't something that judges tend to allow to play out in a courtroom.
