AI Lawyer Has A Sad: Bans People From Testing Its Lawyering After Being Mocked

Well, a lot has happened since I first started looking into the "World's First Robot Lawyer," from DoNotPay. First, Joshua Browder, DoNotPay's CEO, reached out to me via direct message (DM) and told me he would get me access to my documents by 2 PM the next day – Tuesday, January 24th – saying that the delay was caused by my account being locked for "inauthentic activity," a term he did not explain or define. Then, Josh claimed he was going to pull out of the industry entirely, canceling his courtroom stunt and saying he would disable all the legal tools on DoNotPay.com. He said he was doing it because it was a distraction, but the fact that he cited exactly the same two documents that I was waiting to receive seemed like a hell of a coincidence. But plus ça change, plus c'est la même fucking chose, as the poet says.
