This is one of the things I don't get about the AI hype.

Why does everyone want to use AI to _replace_ humans?[0] This sounds exactly like a case where an "AI" transcribing a human's order ALONGSIDE an actual human would be a perfect case for optimising.

If the human mishears something for example, they can check what the AI interpreted, but still make their own decisions.
