On the other hand, we don’t need $50,000 robots to tell the difference between phones or cars.

Tell the difference, no. But being sure that the difference really matters might cost you even more. Note that anybody can already see whether a diamond is natural or artificial with their naked eyes: by looking at the certificate that came with it (or didn't). The problem is deciding whether the difference matters.
