This line of thinking always leaves me confused about other peoples experience in the Pre-AI world. People and systems around me fail all the time because evaluation fails. Yes, the failure modes are different but I don't consider them favorable without AI. In fact, I consider that they are better.

For example, consider what happens in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZhCYisIQB8&t=2s

Please don't make this mistake of thinking "aha, but you see, a human intervened!" This will never happen in the real world for the vast majority of humans in a similar scenario.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand your point. What line of thinking are you referencing? Also risk scores and algorithms have been used in medicine for over 50 years, so evaluating them isn't anything new.
