The premise of this app is undermined by the oversimplified implementation. Truly diverse panel? You have no idea what the diversity is. Far removed from your peer group? You have no idea. "Just a verdict"? Jury duty is not a duty to pronounce judgement. It's a duty deliberate on evidence. There's no evidence, here, and no deliberation. This is no celebration of collective human intelligence. This is silly and cynica…
This is peak 2008 internet, and I love it deeply. Thank you.
Make it an iphone and android app. more people will join in.
Neat concept! Although I was a bit surprised at the AI stand-in's finding. I posed the silly argument that "My neighbor's dog refuses to speak French" with the options "Neighbor is culpable" and "I am clearly an idiot": The final decision was 7/5 in my favor! But seriously, this really is a great idea IMO. The jury-duty-while-you-wait feature also seems like a fair trade-off.

People can be trolling. That is the kind of over the top, obviously silly question where I personally might also answer a silly answer. And out of those two the "Neighbor is culpable" is sillyier and funnier.
Cool idea and execution! The use of AI unless there are sufficient humans is a clever way to beat the chicken and egg problem

After thinking about it non stop for 16 years? This indeed sounds fishy.
Why fishy? I had the idea 16 years ago but lacked any type of expertise or finance to create an app. I've been pestering everyone I could think of ever since and the idea developed and I became more desperate and determined (but still lacking expertise and finance). And last year came across a way to make an app with no coding. I had already tested out the concept during lockdown with family & friends on a live anony…
Why not juries of 13 people? That way you never have a clean tie?
