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 think the major different between that and KI is that the the Night-Vision is mostly static and knowable through experience/teaching, while KI is an ever moving target where you experience is zero on every new display/question.
I think the idea of an hud is better than the current paradigm, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem.
