[Interstellar]: Why did NASA even bother sending humans?

We're pretty much told straight up that the Lazarus program had a 99% death rate (only Coop & Brandt survived), but why would NASA send squishy meat people through the black hole if they had reasonably intelligent AIs like TARS and CASE?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't because they needed a human womb for all those frozen embryos on their spaceships; after all Brandt couldn't have been expected to give birth to hundreds of kids and raise them on her own on an alien planet, that's insane.
Also TARS was able to comprehend what the 5th dimension was and emerged from it unscathed. He and CASE were able to cope on the water planet better than the humans, could operate the ship, and (I think) could beam data back to Earth.

I think early on they said that the AIs were unreliable.

Plan B didn't call for Brandt to raise all the kids at once. Just a few at first, and then wait until the colony can support more people and the kids are old enough to help raise the second generation.
