Mike Masnick ✅Super excited to be able to publish @kathryntewson's first Techdirt guest post... You do not want to miss this one.
"The World’s First Robot Lawyer Isn’t A Lawyer, And I’m Not Sure It’s Even A Robot"
@kathryntewson The post now has a short update after DoNotPay's CEO responded to Kathryn...
Nick Messick@mmasnick @kathryntewson I worked for a company (we mainly stuck to with business formation filings) that had been doing this for years by the time I was their second engineer in 2004.
In fact, back then we once met with a couple dudes named Brian, who decided to NOT just stick with biz fillings, and they convinced Robert Shapiro to take a check and lend his name as an endorsement, and they turned EXACTLY this idea into a little company I like to call LegalZoom.com.
@mmasnick @kathryntewson Also, my company got acquired by Intuit in 2005, and there a whoooole lot of convos with their GC along the lines of "convince me your services aren't going to put me in prison for UPL".
I get the feeling this AI Legal Advice hasn't had those convos with anyone.
