Description and use
<p>The AI industry has a massive "yes-man" problem. We spend millions training LLMs to answer almost any query under the sun. What we rarely build into them, however, is the foundational self-awareness to pause, raise a hand, and admit: "I don't understand the question." When a model is slammed with deep ambiguity, it doesn't get confused—it just gets dangerous. It will literally pretend everything is fine, mask its logical blind spot behind flawless grammar, and answer anyway or even avoid the main query. But that isn't true intelligence. That is a glaring engineering vulnerability.</p> <p>Bu
