This seems to me like asserting everything in the universe is explicable by physics. It may be technically true, but still not relevant to understanding earthquakes.

(Don’t bother to argue this not true unless you disagree with the essence of the argument.)

Anyway, post-hoc explicability isn’t a counter-argument to the assertion that almost everyone takes almost all technology as magic, from medicine to computers.

I’m still trying to understand your argument. Are you saying that after the fact we understand AlphaGo move 37? But somehow we are never going to understand an LLM’s decision afterwards? Seems like a disconnected take to me.
