I think that self-regulated skills are better in comparison with assistive automation technologies/methods. This is because there can be better chances of understanding the shortcomings and positive aspects of the overall performance of an individual (Endsley, 2018). In case of assistive automation, there can be chances of not realizing the actual shortcomings of the human beings. This can lead to overconfidence and high levels of dependency on automation. There can also be lack of development of human skills to eliminate human errors in case of assistive automation. Self-regulated skills can actually work wonders because there can be simulation experience grasped in a better manner while showing confidence in self-regulation and not too much dependence on automation.
