    One exception to tech that violates predictable comfort : musical instruments

    It has managed unpredictability. For example a jazz instrument is unpredictable in output, but its control surface : keys, strings is highly legible.

    Even there the uncertainty is contained, not chaotic.

    The least that an LLM interface should have to even qualify it's designed, is to make the user know it's failing predictably

    Like if you assume its going to fuck up, atleast have it limited to fucking up in only xyz ways so the user has a way to ration their time and energy to steer it.
