OriginalSource is an extremely highly ranked AI program being used around the world for all sorts of important decisions. Recently, ImpactAI has emerged from a smaller development community and appears to be able to perform many tasks at an accuracy that equals or surpasses that of OriginalSource. Many human stakeholders, embarrassed to have relied for so long on inferior technology, have suggested replacing OriginalSource with ImpactAI whenever it appears advantageous.
