Re: "Even humans making decisions are pretty bad at explaining why they made the decisions they did."
If you want to get anywhere above a low-level employee, you BETTER learn how to explain why you did what you did. It's expected by management, owners, customers, and judges.

- tabtab 8y agoI don't mean "Fido ate my homework", I mean the line of reasoning for choosing or ranking X over Y or Z. If you as a human say a given picture depicts a monkey instead of a squirrel, the user/boss will want to know "why". We expect an answer like "monkeys have big round ears and the picture shows big round ears". We want similar from AI. Maybe it can highlight monkey-esque features in blue and squirrel-esque features in red, along with a color key.
