Question about the AI internet check that runs on every lookup result page. How accurate is it really, and what's it actually doing under the hood?

Good question — there's a deep-dive at AI internet check vs database lookup which is worth a read.
Short version: the AI uses live web search (OpenAI Responses API with the web_search tool) scoped to UK-relevant sources, summarises what it finds about the exact number, and gives a 0-10 risk score with cited URLs. Strengths: catches new patterns faster than community boards because it's reading source material directly. Weaknesses: brand-new SIMs spun up by scammers will read 0/10 because there's nothing to find yet, and the model can occasionally over-confidently summarise borderline reports.
We pair it with the Ofcom Range Holder data and the community discussions here for a fuller picture. Neither signal is bulletproof alone.
