I wouldn’t call the low death rate from surgery humans being highly reliable. Surgery used to be much deadlier. Humans have spent many many years improving surgical methods (tools, procedures, training), including by using robotic assistance to replace human activity on subtasks where the robots do better. Surgery as practiced by current trained humans with their tools & methods is highly reliable, but this reliability isn’t something inherent to the humans as agents.
I’m not sure that it matters whether the humans are inherently more reliable. I don’t think anyone is claiming, intentionally or otherwise, that a random human plucked from 20,000 BC will immediately be a better brain surgeon than any AI.
If humans are only more reliable within a context of certain frameworks of knowledge and trained procedures, and the AIs can’t make use of the frameworks and are less reliable as a consequence, then the humans are still more reliable than the AIs and probably shouldn’t be replaced by the AIs in the workforce.
