@arstechnica it does not matter how accurate it needs to be.
All what matters was selling contract. And if there was one.
That will quickly sort out selling magic eight balls as reliable systems a snake oilery.

@arstechnica i would say it needs to be "can detect a gun since it is a gun detection AI" accurate.
