a means of unscrupulous sellers hiding defects.

Private sellers apparently can do this ( hide defects) BUT they cannot misrepresent any items under law. Further A.I. is being used as a " convenience" and promoted as such, when it could not be further from the truth. It is artificial and not intelligent other than " picking up" what "other" descriptions have stated and being far too generic often withholding vital  information for buyers to determine. It is the sellers responsibility to ensure any written listing descriptions depict what they are selling accurately. By not doing so, and using " generic" A.I. descriptors this could result in a multitude of claims for not as described.  

I agree A.I is superfluous
