­­>But even humans do things that they can't explain

That is actually very interesting. I would even extend that sometimes, humans know the decision they are making is stupid/not the right one but the reward for taking that bad decision is worth it for him. Translating that flawed behavior into an AI must be terribly hard.

Moreover, often humans seemingly "can't explain" something - or invent nonsense explanations - because the act of actually explaining their reasoning could expose them to bad consequences, often social ones.

Question: why didn't you tell me you're going to a meetup after work?

Provided explanation: because I was so busy I forgot about it.

Real explanation: because I didn't want to have a conversation about it with you.
