Look, I'm generally considered AI's most vociferous detractor.

But...

This simply isn't true, at least in cases like this.

I know common sense isn't really all that common, but why would you give more credence to an untested tool than an untested crack-addled human informant?

The entire point of the informant, or the AI in this instance, is to generate leads. Which subsequently need to be checked.

There is no "correct" way to use AI in order to avoid bad results. The only prudent approach is to assume all results are bad until proven otherwise.

But this approach negates much of the incentive to pay for questionable results.
