Oh wow. I've had a major issue with a state tax return that I've been trying to resolve for almost a year. I tried using a tax lawyer late last year, to no avail. Lots of $$$ down the drain. I figured out that he was probably just using AI anyways for his official appeals. I finally decided to use ChatGPT Pro and represent myself. I used it to re-write all the appeals, strengthen my case, and craft all interaction letters with DoR and relevant employers. Took another few months, but I've been officially informed today that my case has been resolved in my favor. No, this is not an April 1st joke. This is huge and a first concrete example for me of how AI can level the playing field for anyone who is facing obstacles when dealing with intransigent bureaucratic institutions and entities. AI can be a huge force multiplier for the "little guy" in particular - people who don't have the resources to hire expensive lawyers and do all the complicated research.
