Ah, the “I am an expert so I can guide it argument”. Not sure if you are right or wrong. I do know this is the argument that many software engineers claim as well.

Yea, I don’t know if it will hold up. I hope so. It could. I don’t know if it would or wouldn’t.

Get any model, any reasoning level, ask it to tackle a challenge, have it come up with a plan. Then ask it "are you sure? This feels wrong", and it will now think it's wrong. Do that again in a loop and you'll see how unnecessary human judgment actually is.

Or alternatively, have fable write some complex code. Then ask it to do an adversarial review of that code in a clean session. You'll find that it will find issues in the code that it just wrote.

Now imagine you're a layperson who doesn't know which one is true.

Human expertise is never going to become irrelevant.
