That's not the point at all. They wanted to automate this with computers and it failed. They had to rely on workers in India to do the analysis. That's why they're canceling this service.
But AI is intelligent and sentient, just throw more server farms at the problem, right?

I know you're trying to be funny, but while AI does have many uses, I imagine the issue for Amazon was that much like self driving there were just too many edge cases to try to solve here.
