This reflects humans. If you need reliability for a clearly defined set of problems you don’t hire a superstar.
They will keep poking at the problem, drive it to directions you did not intend to and ultimately they will be worse at the task.
I’m not sure that’s true. In general, the higher the performer the better they’ll do. That’s the definition of high performer.
If they don’t deliver a quality version of what was asked in a reasonable timeframe, they aren’t a superstar. They’re just a skilled technician with no discipline, which can be as bad as a poor technician in many cases.
Reminiscent of Kobayashi Maru. You probably don’t want the James T. Kirk AI. ;)
