New App Lets You ‘Sue Anyone By Pressing a Button’ was the headline. I thought it was the Onion, but it’s apparently real.
Do Not Pay, a free service that launched in the iOS App store today, uses IBM Watson-powered artificial intelligence to help people win up to $25,000 in small claims court. It’s the latest project from 21-year-old Stanford senior Joshua Browder, whose service previously allowed people to fight parking tickets or sue Equifax; now, the app has streamlined the process. It’s the “first ever service to sue anyone (in all 3,000 counties in 50 states) by pressing a button.”
Can’t test it though, as it’s only available for the iPhone, not Android.
I guess this really shouldn’t come as a surprise. People are encouraged to sue anyone for any reason, so why not make it easier. I’m sure this will turn out to be a very popular ap if it works.
