to validate that the issues are indeed existing and working exactly as the AI

Further: it is *rarely* a good idea to just copy and paste an AI generated
report to the project. Those generated reports typically are too wordy and
rarely to the point (in addition to the common fabricated details). If you
actually find a problem with an AI and you have verified it yourself to be
true: write the report yourself and explain the problem as you have learned
it. This makes sure the AI-generated inaccuracies and invented issues are
filtered out early before they waste more people's time.
