Recently I described an unidentified bird to other bird enthusiasts. “There’s an app for that,” they claimed. “You just take a picture and ask AI.” Kit downloaded the bird app to her phone.

Later I saw a robin hopping on the ground. “Try the bird app,” I suggested. Kit took a picture and we waited.

AI answered, Ruffled Grouse

That’s not it, I responded.

Great Blue Heron

Try again.

Peacock

After Kit provided a zoomed in picture, AI finally answered American Robin correctly. 

The point of the robin example is that AI will give you a definitive answer whether accurate or not. Verify before you believe it. When it comes to values, AI can profile you and provide what you want to hear. This implies from a supposedly authoritative source that yours is the correct value and thereby others are wrong.
