ADA accommodations regularly change what can and cannot be used during an exam. This is not the “gotcha” you think it is.

Any lawyer making an argument along these lines probably used AI to pass the bar.

For example, a blind person could still get an accommodation to use a AI vision tool which reads the exam to them. Or the school could give them a human who reads the exam to them.

Either would meet the ADA accommodation requirements, and neither would actually be blocked by UC Berkeley’s new “no AI” rule because the ADA supersedes this “no AI” rule.
