Withdrawn paper questions LLM understanding and coherence

A withdrawn arXiv paper by Camilo Chacón Sartori explored the concept of the Bidirectional Coherence Paradox in large-language models (LLMs). The paper argued that LLMs can appear competent and provide coherent explanations, yet these explanations may not accurately reflect the underlying mechanisms of their success or lead to effective interventions. The research proposed an 'Epistemic Triangle' model to analyze how priors, signals, and domain knowledge interact, suggesting that neither behavioral success nor explanatory accuracy alone is sufficient to attribute understanding to AI agents.

    Coherent Without Grounding, Grounded Without Success: Observability and Epistemic Failure

    arXiv:2603.28371v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When an agent can articulate why something works, we typically take this as evidence of genuine understanding. This presupposes that effective action and correct explanation covary, and that coherent explanation reliably s…
