The premise
A confirmation users always click through is worse than no confirmation — it trains them to ignore the next one too.
What AI does well here
- Reserve confirmations for irreversible or high-blast-radius actions
- State exactly what will happen, in plain language and concrete numbers
- Default to 'No' for the most dangerous variant
- Log the confirmation text alongside the action for audit
What AI cannot do
- Stop a determined user from clicking 'yes' faster than thinking
- Replace a real undo button when one is feasible
- Calibrate severity without knowing your blast radius
