I Built an AI System That Makes 1,000 Decisions a Day. Here's Where I Drew the Line.
An AI developer built CostGuard, an HTTP proxy system designed to make autonomous decisions on LLM calls, scoring and filtering responses in milliseconds. While effective at catching obvious errors like empty outputs or refusals, the system struggles to detect subtle flaws such as statistically unsound analysis presented confidently. The developer concluded that autonomous systems are best suited for low-stakes, real-time filtering, while high-stakes model selection requires human review. AI
IMPACT Highlights the ongoing challenge of ensuring LLM output accuracy and the need for human oversight in critical decision-making processes.
