Night-vision optics come to mind: prone to noise and visual artifacts, and especially strange under certain edge conditions. Some of their specs tend to be strictly inferior to a Mark I Eyeball—narrow FOV, limited focusing power, whatever else.

But an operator learns to intuit which aspects to trust and which to double-check. The fact that it’s an “extra sense” can outweigh the fact that it’s not a perfect source of truth, no? Trust the tech where it proves useful to you, and find ways to compensate (or outright don’t use it) where it’s not.

I could imagine a system in which the model only chooses which data points to show at what time, but the actual passing is still handled by good old deterministic programming.
