I strongly suspect the human is there to be the fall guy when the LLM invariably does something really stupid.

This has a term, actually! “Accountability sink”.

Yes, like a heatsink in a computer, your job is to soak up all the damaging and unwanted aspects of what the “real” and “valuable” main components decide to do, so that consequences never reach any decision-makers.

Fun!

Decision makers are often set up as the "fall guy", but the consequences are getting a huge severance package and an even more lucrative c-suite position at another company.

Honestly, until recently the PotUS was a fall guy for most of congress's shit
