More capability, less reliability please. I want something that can achieve superhuman results 1 out of 10 times, not something that gives mediocre human results 9 out of 10 times.

All of reality is probabilistic. Expecting that to map deterministically to solving open ended complex problems is absurd. It's vectors all the way down.

Superhuman results 1/10 are, in fact, a very strong reliability guarantee (maybe not up to today's nth 9 decimal standard that we are accustomed to, but probably much higher than any agent in real-world workflow).
