Fake record hints

All others getting record hints for "Connecticut Marriages" that just lead to 404, "Well that was unexpected…." error messages? Probably so, since it has been happening for awhile. I submitted a compliant to support, but my list keeps growing. It's getting really hard to find hints worth reviewing. I can use the "I can't tell" option to dismiss each link, but there are thousand of them, so its not productive work. It would be better if humans could find some way to control AI and fix the problem. Maybe pull the plug - is that still possible or has it completely taken over (we were warned)? :-)

    I honestly can't see what AI has to do with this, there simply appears to me to be an old-fashioned data error with that collection, as discussed on the thread @Áine.ní.Donnghaile linked to above. I imagine the hints will be as valid as any other Record Hints once access to the records is fixed. I will complete a Records Issues form (as linked to on the 'Ask a Question' Search page here in Community).

    By the way, the uses of AI within FamilySearch were being discussed yesterday on this thread:
