> ... "considering the AI is close to frictionless" ...

I feel like this bit is more of a problem than many folks realize. I know that people see "frictionless" as a desirable trait, but for many of the things folks are using AI for these days, you're gonna want "push-back" sometimes. Especially in cases of health care and computer programming, there are times when the user is straight-up wrong about what they're trying to do, say, or believe, and the last thing you wanna hear when your life or job or the lives or jobs of others are on the line and you're about to make a huge mistake is "You're absolutely right! Let me get right on doing that for you!"

You're absolutely right! What I do is have the LLM rank and score candidates for me given my situation. This helps me focus on what's more likely versus less likely. Blood tests are not free; they're in fact fairly expensive in aggregate, so this filtering has been essential.
