generally you’re going to have way more catastrophic mistakes with an AI that you will even with even an human with no domain experience.

That's just not even true. People with no experience are going to fuck shit up completely. We have a human president and look where that's getting us.

Even people with zero experience in counseling don't tell a person who is thinking of committing suicide to "kill themselves" and even those with zero culinary experience don't tell others they're supposed to put glue on top pizza when you're making it.

To do that a human needs not just have zero experience but actually have no common sense whatsoever.

Further, even with such people, it's only if they've been given the tools to do things with a huge impact that it becomes a problem: that's pretty much "child with a loaded gun" situations.

The number of humans that inept given such power is minuscule (pretty much just children given loaded guns), whilst every single Agentic AI out there is that stupid and they're currently being given "loaded guns" all the time.

The problem is exactly that Agentic AIs are being given adult responsibilities whilst having the common sense and reasoning abilities of a small child.
