I agreed with you up until the last paragraph. Generating data that cannot be told apart from any real data, cave ins and all, is probably one area where this can succeed.

Your other comment about picking the horizon of interest is really on point, that's where automated interpretation as it's been buzzworded to hell to date as had had no chance and has never lived up to how it was pitched. Many tools just made the problem worse.

That fact that this might change in some distant future, well it may be solved in some capacity but is it really worth the effort? Given that exploration has a limited future.
