Are agentic systems like these making correct decisions more often than humans really unthinkable? A comment like what you just wrote was unimaginable 5 years ago

Humans can take accountability for mistakes, and there are systems in place to help you if they don’t.

I imagine the same systems will evolve for agents as well, if nothing else because lack of trust will impact provider's bottom line.

How so? Each human is a different "model", and its constrained to the physical world. What are we going to do? Put whole corporations in jail, shareholders included? Limit what they can do?

The "it went sideways" scenario for 100k agents spawned across the world using the same bad model is completely different from humans going sideways.

The power imbalance will ensure that this is unlikely to happen, in much the same way that people generally don’t trust that massive corporate entities have their best interest at heart but might have some regard for their colleagues wellbeing.
