(eg if accuracy is defined in terms of the reaction of people that read its output).

I'm mostly ignorant about AI design beyond what I picked up on this site, but could you explain why you would define accuracy in terms of how people react to the answers? There doesn't seem to be an obvious difference between how I react to information that is true or (unbeknownst to me) false. Is it just for training questions?

It might happen. "accuracy" could involve the AI answering with the positions of trillions of atoms, which is not human parsable. So someone might code "human parsable" as "a human confirms the message is parsable".
