There's magic trick that can make any #AI project successful. When the LLM's success rate is too low, just say "it's OK, we will have a human in the loop" and ship it anyway.

There's just one problem with this magic trick: most #LLM implementations don't have the thoughtful and intentional guard rails that would make this a real human-in-the-loop system.

Instead, the loop becomes a vicious cycle of deception and deskilling, losing all benefits of oversight.

"Human in the loop" is a thought-terminating cliche

Without thoughtful guard rails, asking people to clean up after machines doesn't make machines better — it makes people worse.

THEM: We want to make sure there is always human intervention with AI content. We call it having a "human in the loop to edit and review" AI responses. ME: ... Human In The Loop to Edit and Review ... you know that abbreviates as HITLER, right? THEM: What? Oh ... crap.
