People ask AI who to trust with their money. Does it name you?

An owner needs a CPA, a couple wants a retirement plan, a family shops for cover or a first mortgage. They ask an AI tool and get a few names with a reason each. In a regulated field those reasons come from public records, reviews and pages that explain the work without promising results.
