> ML is coming to a head, and we'll potentially have machines that outclass us in basic tasks in 25 - 50 years. Just this line makes me skeptical of the rest of your thinking as well... what I've seen of ML application leaves me strongly convinced that every usage of ML will need human supervision and override control. Every case of "can't reach a human to get this corrected" is a call for boycotting / suing to force a human override channel for any automated system. The "human experiment" is not an experiment, it is the fundamental reality, and no automation will ever truly replace human thoughts plus emotions plus inherent irrational priorities / preferences / biases.
