@dw.science: “Human in the loop” can sound like a reassuring safeguard, but what does that oversight actually look like in practice? Simply having a human involved doesn’t necessarily mean the AI’s decisions or outputs are being meaningfully scrutinized. The real question isn’t just whether a human is involved, but how closely they’re actually checking the AI’s output.

Corporate lingo is often undefined and therefore, empty. It’s often used to leave an impression of confidence when there really is no substance. Marketing that too often works.

This is why the humans in the loop should always exercise their critical thinking and make sound decisions. With regards to fatigue, people should not be relying solely on the AIs logic, AI is a tool but not a replacement on how we analyze and decide.

Human in the loop is like a caged hamster running on the wheel everyday. always running or working so the AI can be alive.

the same is happening in software development too. when you have to review AI code, after a while you start paying less and less attention, eventually basically just rubber stamping most of it.

They are attempting to drum up support for regulation to limit access, sell subscriptions to "'safe public models", and eliminate competition and open source projects. The only threat to humanity are billionaires.

i work only with humans and can tell when someone of power and bad intentions is in place most of employees will submit and horrible things to others (gaslighting, small negative implications) so human in the loop doesn't sound so reassuring

Now I know where that comes from. I work for a Fortune 100 company… I’ve heard “AI will not be replacing you, we would always need a human in the loop 🔁” more than I care to remember.

Human in the loop is a non term- meaning that all of the logical processes is based off of Materialism and not actual reality- there is no “loop” for humans to be in with. The loop is nonsense- Humans created the problem, not the other way around

Would you check your contract for liability, disciplinary action, or legal consequences before becoming the “human in the loop”?

Johan Andersson :
There are nothing called 'autonomous AI'. It's a software. Software can not think! Humans program what the software are going to do. So if we humans want the software to do bad things, it will do bad things. The software is never going to decide anything by its own!
