The most beneficial application of AI like this is to reverse-engineer the neural network to figure out how the AI works. In this way we may discover a new technique or procedure, or we might find out the AI's methods are bullshit. Under no circumstance should we accept a "black box" explanation.

our brain is a black box, we accept that. (and control the outcomes with procedures, checklists, etc)

It feels like lots of prefessionals can't exactly explain every single aspect of how they do what they do, sometimes it just feels right.
