It would be impossible for a non-expert to recognize these roads without hand-holding training. There are few quantitative criteria ("lots of"), and many that are only understood relative to a persons experience ("Just picture ... "). Yet, they are well-defined and the problem is well understood.

Perfect application of AI/ML. The reasoning behind AI/ML does not need to be mysterious for it to be an appropriate solution. "All it has done is <Something I understand> " is not a valid criticism of the solution.

"All it has done is add these values and subtract these values" would not be a valid criticism of a banking application, for example.

I once heard AI described as (paraphrasing), "Imagine you have an army of seven-year-olds that you can instruct to do a simple task for 24 hours a day"
