The real value lies in expert assessment, decision-making, and recognizing which cases require intensive training and human intervention. While LLMs may offer simple, scalable guidance, they fall short of addressing the rare, complex situations that demand professional interventions. Analogies from medicine, aviation, and driving show that high performance does not guarantee safety across the full spectrum of cases, and bridging the final 0.01% remains profoundly challenging. Determining what percentage of therapy outcomes an AI can improve is uncertain; even with strong gains, human clinicians are needed to manage complexity, ethics, and risk, especially in prevention and referral decisions.
