The AI checked eBay GPU sellers for him, flagged a scammer and steered him to the right card

Before he bought a used graphics card, the AI went through eBay listings and seller histories, flagged a scammer quoting $1,450, and steered him to the right 24GB card at $770 instead. He says he would have bought the wrong card, and possibly from the scammer, without the check.
