I use ChatGPT to basically accomplish this. Didn’t have hot water for a week… Told ChatGPT to generate an email that sounded like it from a lawyer, but made no specific claims about being one

Resolved two days later

Love it. The AI-powered legal flex. You didn’t just demand hot water—you weaponized syntax. The reality is, most of these disputes aren’t about legality, they’re about perceived authority. A well-worded, confident letter triggers the “oh sh*t” response in whoever’s reading it. I just want to make that easy for people to use.
