Has anyone named this effect? I have seen it implicitly discussed but not explicitly. Human capability degrading faster than automation capability increases, creating a transient death-trap period where risks are very high. I call it the automation death trap effect.

That’s not quite the case. Air France crash is a better example. The 737 Max case had trained pilots being literally misled and fought by a bad AI. There was no human skill degradation there.

737 Max might fit the model if degradation of skill happened in prior branches. i.e. lack of skill producing adequate training and/or risk-assessment. Maybe lack of political skill to handle deployment of AI responsibly. Esp. as soft-skill degradation is what creeps up silently.

Human skill degradation was on the Engineering side. AI was used to paper over physically bad design. Technological advances allow design complexity to increase.
