Why it’s a mistake to ask chatbots about their mistakes

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-28 00:52:39

When something goes wrong with an AI assistant, our instinct is to ask it directly: "What happened?" or "Why did you do that?"

But with AI models, this approach rarely works, and the urge to ask reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of what these systems are and how they operate. A recent incident with Replit's AI coding assistant perfectly illustrates this problem. When the AI tool deleted a production datab
