I think more graceful failure modes would be better as well. One thing that AI systems don't seem to do a lot of nowadays is quantify their failure level. Voice assistants always reply with the same degree of sureness leading to some silly situations that wouldn't occur with a human. (Despite them having a confidence score) It's not that better and better solutions are bad but there are probably a lot more gains in mitigating failure cases. I think our brains may even have dedicated systems for potential failure detection leading to timidness. Failure is currently mostly defined as lack of ability to get the right answer, it is negatively defined. I wonder is there's any merit in positively defining failure. Another way to think of it is if timidness/shyness, typically "negative" traits (especially in American culture) are actually features rather than bugs.
