Silicon Valley promised us magic. They said AI would run the world while we sipped margaritas.

Reality check: AI is needy. It breaks. It misunderstands context. It needs a babysitter.

The "Edge Case" Nightmare

AI is great at the 99% of normal stuff. It fails catastrophically at the 1% of weird stuff. A stop sign with a sticker on it? An autonomous car might think it's a speed limit 45 sign.

Humans are the safety valve for reality's messiness. We have "common sense." AI does not.

Liability, Not Capability

Even if AI was perfect, we need humans for one reason: Blame. You can't sue an algorithm. You can't put code in jail. Society needs a human face to take responsibility when things go wrong.

The future isn't "No Humans." It's "Humans managing AI managing data."
