Metacognition in our brains is of course part of cognition and it’s constrained by the time needed for a response and your energy budget (eg. it’s lower if you’re tired) It seems humans subconsciously adjust these constraints constantly in real time too. There’s just a ton of machinery before we get close to something we can call intelligence.. But in the meantime, we should be grounding a model’s responses by giving it context and letting it research with tools; and having secondary out of band processes that go over what the model emitted and enriching the UI with “warning: possibly untrue/nuanced” underlines, call-outs, sources, and outright killing some responses from ever making it to a user. Constrained output could also let the model self-enrich with sources; Anthropic and OpenAI both have API modes and UIs that do this.
