Find me cheaper car insurance — a human beat it by $420

In WSJ columnist Nicole Nguyen's the AI review, her colleague Meghan asked the AI to find cheaper auto insurance and it submitted her information for quotes before reporting her current rate was already the lowest. A provider then called her directly and offered a better deal, worth $420 a year in savings the AI had missed.

How it works

  1. Submit her details to providers for quotes through AI
  2. The AI compares quotes
  3. The AI reports current rate is already the lowest
  4. A provider calls her directly and offers a better deal worth $420 a year

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent confidently declared her rate unbeatable; one human phone call found $420 a year more.
