Talking with a dispatcher about AI route planning changed my take on it
I was offloading in Boise last Tuesday and this dispatcher, veteran of 20 years, told me the AI routing software cut their empty miles by 12% but also sent two trucks down roads that barely fit a sedan. She said the trick is treating it like a junior partner, not a boss, you verify the weird calls and let it handle the boring stuff. Has anyone else found a sweet spot between trusting the AI and second-guessing it in their own line of work?

Wait, we're supposed to be smarter than the software now? I've been out here treating it like a magic eight ball and just hoping for the best. The junior partner idea makes way more sense, let it do the boring math while I keep an eye on the roads that look like goat trails.
