- Advantages: Improves accuracy in ambiguous cases; leverages human expertise.
- Disadvantages: Requires human intervention; slows down the process.
- Implementation Tips: Encourage the AI to ask specific questions when it’s unsure, like “Is this phrase positive or negative?”

Examples:
- “For the review ‘This phone is fire!’, ask a human if it’s positive or negative.”
