The BCG framing makes it sound like a cognitive load problem but I think it is more unreliability fatigue. When your AI does 8 things right and then confidently does the 9th wrong, you spend mental energy second-guessing everything. Supervising an unreliable system is more exhausting than just doing the task yourself.
