I see it as less of “Humans are more reliable than AI” but more of “Humans and AI do not tend to make the same kind of mistakes”. And the everyday jobs we encounter have been designed/evolved around human mistake patterns so we are less likely to cause catastrophic failures. Keeping the job constant and replacing humans with AI would obviously lead to problems.
For well-defined simple jobs like arithmetic, AI has a definite accuracy edge compared to human beings. Even for complex jobs, I am still unsure if human beings have the reliability edge. We had quite a few human errors leading to catastrophic failures in earlier stages of complex projects like space explorations, nuclear power plants, etc. But as time passes on we rectify the job so human errors are less likely to cause failure.
Yeah. I think they have different kinds of errors. We are using human judgement to say that AIs should not make errors that humans would not make. But we do not appreciate the times when they do not make errors that we would make.
Humans might be more reliable at driving cars than AIs overall. But human reliability is not a superset of AI. It’s more like an intersection. If you look at car crashes made by AIs, they might not look like something that human would cause. But if you look at car crashes of humans, they might also not look like something that AIs would cause.
