contents . It is typically assumed that for the successful use of machine learning algorithms, these algorithms should have a higher accuracy than a human expert. Moreover, if the average accuracy of ML algorithms is lower than that of a human expert, such algorithms should not be considered and are counter-productive. However, this is not always true. We provide strong statistical evidence that shows that even if a human expert is more accurate than a machine, an interaction with such a machine is beneficial when communication with the machine is non-public. The existence of a conflict between the user and ML model, and the private nature of user-AI communication will have the effect of making the user think about their decision and hence increase overall accuracy.
