But then what's the point of using 'AI' at all if people are just gonna ignore what it comes up with?
I admit it's a little naive but here's a metaphor that works for me.
Imagine you have access to an "AI" that's the best route finder in the world. It finds the best possible route between any two places you wish to go.
However, you have a fear of going through a certain neighborhood (maybe you grew up there and have bad memories) or maybe a family member died in a crash on the freeway once and now you only stick to regular streets.
The AI is so good that you can communicate these psychological and messy human preferences to the AI and it re-routes as appropriate. Is this a better or worse outcome and does providing these provisos make the AI pointless?
