The upshot: these AI summaries were so bad that the assessors agreed that using them could require more work down the line, because of the amount of fact-checking they require. If that's the case, then the purported upsides of using the technology — cost-cutting and time-saving — are seriously called into question.

Hell yeah, smart machine? That's gonna cost a premium. Oh, and because these machines are so sophisticated, you'll need a higher tier support contract, that's another premium... I mean it's not like you have skilled technicians on staff anymore, they all retired and all your new guys just know how to press "play," since we made the machines so easy to use... you're not fixing anything yourself anymore.

Back to your support contract, now we have the Bronze tier which gets you one of our field techs out there within 48 hours, but if your business can't handle that kind of downtime we could upgrade you to Silver or Gold...
