There are two other solutions, make the automation so reliable that the human skill is not needed, or make the consequences of failure low enough that you can just accept failure.

As far as I know, Places that actually care about safety apply all of them at once.

They add layers of failsafes that don't rely on humans, they make the automation better and better, and for the most critical stuff, they continue training for things that will almost certainly not happen.

And for the rare(depending on personality) cases where we care about the pilot's ability more than the result, just don't automate at all.
