I like the idea of auto reviews on certain calls. Why are we waiting for a quality control coach to check if they want to challenge and then the coach trying to throw the challenge flag before the other team rushes to the line to try and get the play in before the challenge.
The core problem with turning AI loose is the one you brought up: games would grind to a halt if every infraction were called. I'd be happy to see it used to reduce time spent officiating. One thing that just came to mind is spotting the ball and determining first downs and touchdowns, without making coaches challenge really bad spots.

Yes definitely could be advantageous in some ways but terrible in others. If an AI was calling penalties we might still be watching the superbowl.
