Long before the term intelligence was sullied by the prefix "artificial" the phrase "police intelligence" has long been a euphemism for a suspicion that they cannot back up with any evidence that would stand up in court.
I think coprolite seems like a perfect fit for their methods. They just need to train it to start off with solid evidence and fuck it up until it doesn't stand up in court. Then it'll be employee of the week. A bit like computer driven cars, it might be shite but that doesn't mean it is necessarily worse than the typical human cop.
The real problem is if it's harder to hold it to account.
