Are AI copilots capped by human review? The case for human-on-the-loop
Informal-Dust4499 · reddit · 2026-09-17
A Reddit post argues the copilot model has a hidden scaling ceiling: doubling AI output means doubling human review, and as models improve, rare mistakes become subtler and harder to catch. The author proposes shifting high-volume, reversible work (like customer support) from human-in-the-loop to human-on-the-loop — AI acts autonomously, humans set guardrails and handle escalations — while acknowledging safety-critical domains still need approval. The post asks builders what reliability threshold triggers the switch.
