Ninety-nine percent of active deep-learning models cannot explain their own outputs.
Humans historically built trust through written narratives. We drafted constitutions, laws, and policy memos. These documents justified power. Silicon destroyed this paper trail.
Systems bypass explanation.
Code runs. The feedback loop verifies the output. Users accept the result because the math works. Reliability eliminates the need for storytelling.
Observe automated cargo routing.
Algorithms direct millions of tons of freight daily. No operator understands the route choices. The system optimizes the grid anyway. Efficiency replaces understanding.
Future archaeologists will excavate landfills and find running code but zero explanation logs. How will they know who served whom?
