New App Lets You 'Sue Anyone By Pressing a Button' (vice.com)

Jason Koebler writes: Do Not Pay, a free service that launched in the iOS App store today, uses 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."

    Actually you need to fill in the details, then it fills out and downloads a form for you, then you need to print it out, then you need to submit it to the courthouse, then you need to appear in court. But the downloading step requires you to push a button. The AI does the rest. Except for the filling in the details, downloading, printing out the form, submitting to the courthouse and appearing in the courthouse. The AI does pre fill out the form for you though. Pretty amazing stuff.

    "Unfortunately my iPhone is a 4s and it needs iOS 11.0. How can I sue anyone if I can't even afford to upgrade my 4s? Truly the system is stacked against people like me"

    1. Buy an iPhone XS.
    2. Sue Apple
    3. Return Xs
    4. Profit
