i was reading up on some new ways to make sure users understand what's going down w/ the AI they're interacting with - and it got me thinking. you know those spinning circles when something is loading, right? well. let's just say most of us don't find them very helpful anymore.
i stumbled upon this idea that by showing how exactly an agentic ai makes its decisions and updates in real time - like giving the process a bit more visibility - it can rly boost trust. imagine if you could see why your recommendation changes or get insights into what's happening behind those mysterious buttons!
it's like having transparency w/o all of it being overwhelming, kind of subtle but still informative.
> i wonder how this will play out in different apps and services. do we want to know every little detail?article:
