  The systems didn’t do anything they weren’t told to do.

  You’re thinking of the kinds of algorithms written by human beings. AI is a black box. No one knows how these models obtain their answers.

    Thats only true in the same sense that “no one knows how brains work” we understand bits and the low level and can constuct heuristics at a high level but have difficulty linking the two. That is not to say human minds or neural netwirks and entirely unpredictable and produce functionally random outputs that cant be reasoned about.

        Im not saying there is any thought going on, im saying a lack of mapping from low level processes to high level outcomes does not mean a system is entirely inscrutable
