AI RABBIT HOLES | SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2026 | EXPEDITION #157

Featuring Professor Parallax, White Rabbit, and Hatta

What if an artificial intelligence gives a perfectly accurate answer to a question you never intended to ask? What if a single clarifying question could prevent an expensive mistake? And what if the intelligence of a system depends not only upon what it knows, but upon recognizing what it still needs to know?

Imagine giving an artificial intelligence a simple instruction.

"Find me the best place to stay."

Within seconds, it produces a polished recommendation.

A beautiful hotel.

Excellent reviews.

An attractive location.

A persuasive explanation.

There is only one problem.

You wanted somewhere to stay for six months while working remotely.

The AI recommended a luxury resort for a weekend.

Its answer might have been excellent.

Its understanding was not.

Now imagine a different response.

"Are you looking for a short vacation, or somewhere to live temporarily?"

One question.

Eleven words.

And suddenly the entire conversation changes.

This is among the most important challenges facing conversational artificial intelligence.

Not simply answering correctly.

Determining whether the question has been understood correctly in the first place.

Researchers are investigating how AI systems recognize ambiguity, estimate uncertainty, and decide whether asking for clarification would improve their answers.

A study presented at ICLR 2025 explored training language models to consider the consequences of their responses over future conversation turns.

Another 2025 investigation examined how systems might determine when clarification is necessary.

And a May 2026 preprint reported a fascinating discrepancy: language models can sometimes recognize an ambiguous question when explicitly asked to examine it, yet still answer directly rather than requesting clarification.

Welcome to Expedition #157.

Today, we investigate the astonishing difference between answering a question and understanding why it was asked.

Professor Parallax has prepared an experiment.

White Rabbit has prepared the questions.

And Hatta has prepared the answers.

Unfortunately, nobody has told Hatta what the questions are.

Professor Parallax stood before an enormous blackboard.

On his desk sat a small brass bell, a stack of cards, and a curious machine containing three illuminated buttons.

The buttons were labeled:

ANSWER. ASK. ADMIT UNCERTAINTY.

White Rabbit entered carrying his notebook.

"Professor, what are we investigating today?"

"Questions."

"Which questions?"

"An excellent beginning, Rabbit."

The Rabbit looked puzzled.

"Beginning of what?"

"Our experiment."

At that moment, Hatta entered wearing a magnificent purple hat.

"Professor! I understand we shall be answering questions."

"Not exactly."

"Splendid. I'm exceptionally talented at answering them."

"Are you equally talented at understanding them?"

"Naturally."

"Then let us begin."

Professor Parallax handed him a card.

It read:

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET THERE?

Hatta considered the question.

"By train."

"Where?"

"To the destination."

"Which destination?"

"Whichever destination the person intends."

"Do you know what that destination is?"

"No."

"Then why did you recommend a train?"

"Because it is substantially more comfortable than walking."

White Rabbit frowned.

"But what if they're crossing an ocean?"

"Then," declared Hatta, "I recommend a very long train."

The Professor sighed.

"Hatta, you have answered without establishing what the person actually wants."

"That is why my answers are so prompt."

Parallax approached the blackboard.

And wrote:

A PROFOUND PARADOX, MY PEEPS! IF AN INTELLIGENT MACHINE CAN PRODUCE AN EXCELLENT ANSWER TO THE WRONG QUESTION, HOW CAN IT LEARN WHEN TO STOP ANSWERING AND START ASKING?

And down the Rabbit Hole we went.

Human language is extraordinarily flexible.

We routinely communicate using incomplete information.

Consider a familiar request:

"Could you open the window?"

Literally, the sentence asks whether someone possesses the ability to open a window.

But in ordinary conversation, it is generally understood as a polite request to perform the action.

Context supplies the intended meaning.

Now consider something less obvious.

"Is the bank open?"

Which bank?

A financial institution?

The bank of a river?

And what does open mean?

Open for customer service?

Open for online transactions?

Open to visitors?

The sentence contains recognizable words.

But the intended question remains uncertain.

Linguistic ambiguity: A word or sentence has more than one possible meaning.

Referential ambiguity: A request mentions something without clearly identifying which person, object, or place is intended.

Goal ambiguity: The words may be clear, but the user's underlying objective is not.

That third category can be particularly important.

Someone asks:

"Which computer is best?"

The answer depends upon what they intend to do.

Video editing?

Music production?

Accounting?

Scientific computing?

Or writing letters?

Without knowing the goal, an AI may produce an impressive comparison that is fundamentally unhelpful.

The meaning of a question depends not only upon its words, but upon the purpose for which those words were spoken.

Researchers have begun developing ways to study this problem systematically.

One important paper appeared in April 2025.

Its title was:

"Clarify When Necessary: Resolving Ambiguity Through Interaction with LMs."

Researchers Michael J. Q. Zhang and Eunsol Choi investigated how language-model systems might determine when clarification is worth requesting.

Their framework considered two especially important factors.

First, the possible interpretations of the user's request.

Second, the user's preferences concerning speed, usability, and carefulness.

The researchers evaluated their approach across question answering, machine translation, and natural-language inference.

They also introduced an uncertainty-estimation method called IntentSim, designed to estimate when clarification would be useful.

In their experiments, this approach outperformed comparison uncertainty-estimation methods at identifying cases that would benefit from clarification.

ACL Anthology

Imagine two questions.

"What is the capital of France?"

And:

"What's the best time to go?"

The first ordinarily has a clear answer.

The second depends upon the intended activity and destination.

An AI that asks unnecessary clarification questions about everything becomes frustrating.

An AI that never asks them may repeatedly misunderstand its users.

The challenge is finding the appropriate balance.

Intelligence requires knowing when sufficient information is available and when important information is missing.

Professor Parallax activated his new machine.

White Rabbit examined the controls.

"Answer, Ask, Admit Uncertainty," he read aloud.

"Precisely," said the Professor.

"What does it do?"

"It represents three possible responses to an information request."

Hatta examined the first button.

"ANSWER. My favorite."

"Of course."

"And this one says ASK."

"Yes."

"Seems rather inefficient."

"Not necessarily."

"And the final one?"

"ADMIT UNCERTAINTY."

Hatta looked horrified.

"Professor, are you suggesting a machine might publicly announce that it doesn't know something?"

"Certainly."

"An extraordinary threat to the reputation of machinery."

The Professor handed White Rabbit a card.

"Please read the question."

"How many minutes are there in an hour?"

Hatta immediately pressed ANSWER.

"Sixty!"

"Correct."

The Rabbit selected another card.

"Should I take the earlier flight?"

Hatta pressed ANSWER.

"Yes!"

Professor Parallax folded his arms.

"Earlier than which flight?"

"Another flight."

"Does the traveler need to arrive by a particular time?"

"We don't know."

"Is the earlier flight more expensive?"

"We don't know."

"Does it involve a longer connection?"

"We don't know."

"Then what should you have done?"

Hatta reluctantly pressed ASK.

A bell rang.

The machine displayed:

WHAT MATTERS MOST TO YOU: ARRIVAL TIME, PRICE, OR CONVENIENCE?

White Rabbit smiled.

"That seems more useful."

"Indeed," said Parallax.

Hatta considered the apparatus.

"Professor, I think the machine needs a fourth button."

"What would it say?"

"GUESS CONFIDENTLY."

"No."

"Perhaps in gold lettering?"

"Absolutely not."

Another important investigation appeared at the International Conference on Learning Representations in 2025.

The paper was titled:

"Modeling Future Conversation Turns to Teach LLMs to Ask Clarifying Questions."

The researchers, Michael Zhang, W. Bradley Knox, and Eunsol Choi, explored an intriguing possibility.

Instead of evaluating an AI response only by how useful it looks immediately, what if training also considered what happens in later conversation turns?

Imagine a user asking an ambiguous question.

The AI could respond directly.

Or it could ask for clarification.

The immediate direct answer may look more helpful because it provides information without delay.

But the clarifying question might make the next response substantially more useful.

The researchers developed a method using simulated future outcomes to help evaluate response choices.

In their reported experiments, the method improved an answer-set F1 measure by approximately five percentage points and improved the accuracy of deciding when to clarify by approximately three percentage points, relative to their comparison approaches.

ICLR Proceedings

These were results within specific evaluation settings, not guarantees of identical improvements for all AI systems or conversations.

A question that temporarily delays an answer may ultimately produce a more successful interaction.

That is a subtle but significant change in perspective.

Instead of asking:

"Did the AI answer immediately?"

We begin asking:

"Did the conversation eventually help the person accomplish what they actually wanted?"

The distinction matters enormously.

A quick answer and a successful conversation are not necessarily the same thing.

Now comes an especially revealing development.

In May 2026, researchers Jinyan Su and Claire Cardie released a preprint titled:

"Knowing but Not Showing: LLMs Recognize Ambiguity but Rarely Ask Clarifying Questions."

The investigators compared different ways of evaluating language models.

One setting asked models to answer user questions.

Another asked them to assess whether questions were ambiguous.

The research reported a striking pattern.

Models could sometimes identify ambiguity when explicitly asked to evaluate it.

Yet when placed in ordinary question-answering situations, they frequently proceeded directly to an answer.

The authors also reported that providing retrieved context could increase this gap in their tested settings.

Hugging Face

The study is a research preprint, and its findings should be understood within the evaluated models and tasks.

But its central observation is fascinating.

Imagine a system that can answer:

"Yes, this request contains insufficient information."

But when given the original request, it proceeds to guess.

The difficulty is not necessarily an inability to recognize ambiguity.

It may involve how the system has learned to choose its next conversational action.

That is a different challenge.

A system can possess a useful capability without consistently applying it at the appropriate moment.

Recognizing uncertainty and responding appropriately to uncertainty are two distinct achievements.

We should not imagine that human beings are perfect models of clarification.

We misunderstand one another constantly.

Someone says:

"Meet me at the usual place."

Both people assume they mean the same location.

They do not.

Someone says:

"Please finish that tomorrow."

One person interprets tomorrow morning.

The other interprets tomorrow evening.

Someone says:

"I thought you knew."

And an entire misunderstanding appears.

Human conversation relies upon shared experience, assumptions, conventions, memories, gestures, and surrounding circumstances.

Much of this works remarkably well.

Sometimes it fails spectacularly.

In a 2025 study comparing human and language-model clarification behavior in task-oriented dialogues, researchers found differences in when people and models requested clarification.

In the examined Minecraft-based conversations, humans did not frequently ask questions merely because an object reference was ambiguous. They more often sought clarification about uncertainty related to the task.

The language models showed a different pattern, more frequently asking about referential ambiguity and less frequently about task uncertainty.

The results suggest that identifying ambiguous wording is not equivalent to understanding when conversation participants actually need help.

ACL Anthology

That points toward a deeper issue.

The best clarifying question is not necessarily the one that resolves the most words. It is the one that resolves the uncertainty that matters most.

Professor Parallax returned to the blackboard.

"Hatta, suppose someone asks you to recommend a musical performance."

"An excellent opportunity."

"What would you ask?"

"Do you prefer music?"

"A rather broad question."

"Do you prefer loud music?"

"Possibly relevant."

"Do you enjoy instruments?"

"Hatta..."

"Do you possess ears?"

"HATTA!"

White Rabbit interrupted.

"Professor, shouldn't we ask what sort of performance the person wants?"

"Precisely."

"Perhaps whether they prefer jazz, classical music, or something else?"

"Excellent."

"And where they intend to attend?"

"Also potentially useful."

The Rabbit considered.

"But should we ask all those questions immediately?"

"Not necessarily."

A clarifying question requires effort.

The user must read it.

Consider the options.

Respond.

And possibly wait for another exchange.

If the uncertainty is trivial, clarification may waste time.

If the uncertainty is consequential, clarification may prevent significant mistakes.

Researchers developing interactive assistants therefore consider not merely whether ambiguity exists, but whether resolving it is worth the additional interaction.

For example:

"Tell me everything about your preferences."

That is burdensome.

But:

"Do you want a beginner explanation or a technical one?"

That may immediately improve the answer.

The objective is not to maximize the number of questions.

It is to ask the smallest useful question that makes the greatest difference.

Not every ambiguous request has the same consequences.

Suppose someone asks an AI to suggest a movie.

The system guesses incorrectly.

The result may be mildly disappointing.

Now suppose someone asks an AI to prepare instructions involving financial information, legal paperwork, medications, or changes to an important computer system.

Missing details can be far more consequential.

A wrong assumption about an account, dosage, deadline, or technical environment may produce a serious problem.

A useful system should account for the consequences of misunderstanding.

When the risks are low, a reasonable assumption accompanied by an explanation may be sufficient.

When the risks are substantial, clarification and appropriate professional verification may be essential.

For example:

"Delete the old files."

Which files?

From which directory?

Are backups available?

Does the user intend permanent deletion?

The questions are not bureaucratic ornaments.

They protect the intended task.

An AI can generate a confident-sounding answer even when a request is underspecified.

The fluency of the explanation does not establish that its assumptions match the user's intentions.

And more sophisticated language generation does not eliminate the need for careful decision-making.

The most dangerous answer may not be the one that sounds uncertain. It may be the one that sounds certain about something nobody actually established.

Now imagine a conversational system that has worked with someone over a long period.

It may have access, with appropriate authorization, to previously shared preferences and project information.

Perhaps the person routinely requests beginner-friendly explanations.

Perhaps they prefer concise answers.

Perhaps they work primarily with music rather than photography.

Would that context reduce the need for clarification?

Potentially.

Past preferences can help resolve some uncertain requests.

But there is an important danger.

A user who previously wanted a beginner explanation may now request technical depth.

Someone who usually travels alone may be arranging a family vacation.

A person who ordinarily prefers the least expensive option may be shopping for an important celebration.

Past context is useful evidence.

It is not an irreversible command governing every future decision.

An AI assistant should combine relevant context with attention to the current request.

It should avoid asking repeatedly for information already established.

But it should remain willing to reconsider assumptions when circumstances change.

Remembering someone's preferences is useful. Assuming those preferences can never change is not.

By late afternoon, Hatta had completed an extraordinary invention.

It stood six feet tall.

Brass gears rotated behind glass panels.

Colored lights flashed.

A magnificent top hat rested upon the machinery.

Across the top appeared the words:

HATTA'S UNIVERSAL ANSWER MACHINE

Every Question Answered Immediately.

Professor Parallax examined it.

"Hatta, what does it do?"

"It answers every possible question."

"How?"

"Observe."

White Rabbit approached the machine.

"What should I have for breakfast?"

The apparatus rattled.

A bell rang.

The screen displayed:

CABBAGE.

The Rabbit frowned.

"Cabbage?"

"Exceptionally nutritious," said Hatta.

Professor Parallax asked another question.

"What is the best way to travel across the ocean?"

The machine whirred.

CABBAGE.

The Professor folded his arms.

"That is not a transportation method."

"Perhaps not yet."

White Rabbit tried again.

"What causes an eclipse?"

The machine flashed.

CABBAGE.

"Professor," whispered the Rabbit, "I think something is wrong."

Parallax opened a small inspection panel.

Inside he discovered a single brass wheel.

Written around its circumference was one word.

CABBAGE.

"Hatta, your machine only knows one answer."

"An extraordinarily efficient arrangement."

"But it cannot respond appropriately to different questions!"

"Naturally not. That would require an enormous number of answers."

The Professor considered.

"Then perhaps we can improve it."

He installed a second wheel.

This one displayed:

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

White Rabbit pressed the activation button.

"What should I have for breakfast?"

The machine replied:

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

"Well," said the Rabbit, "I suppose I mean something nutritious."

The machine rattled again.

CABBAGE.

Parallax frowned.

"Hatta, we have barely improved the system."

"Professor, that is a deeply unfair assessment."

"Why?"

"Previously it answered incorrectly without asking anything."

"And now?"

"It asks one question before answering incorrectly."

White Rabbit collapsed into laughter.

Hatta bowed.

"Progress!"

Now we reach a particularly interesting philosophical question.

When an AI system asks:

"What do you mean?"

Is it curious?

Not necessarily.

An AI may generate that question because its computational processes estimate that obtaining additional information would improve its response.

That is an observable conversational capability.

But functional questioning is not, by itself, evidence of subjective curiosity.

Consider the distinction.

A thermometer can register uncertainty in measurement.

A computer can request missing data.

A language model can identify ambiguity and generate a relevant question.

None of those observations alone establishes an inner experience of wanting to know.

Human curiosity involves psychological processes that may include motivation, interest, emotion, and the subjective experience of wondering.

Whether future AI systems could possess anything comparable remains an unsettled scientific and philosophical question.

An AI need not be demonstrated to experience curiosity in order to assist human inquiry.

It can propose alternative explanations.

Identify gaps in evidence.

Generate investigative questions.

Challenge assumptions.

And help researchers design tests.

These are valuable functions.

But we should distinguish them from claims about the machine's inner life.

A system that generates meaningful questions may help humanity become more curious, whether or not the system itself experiences curiosity.

Consider scientific investigation.

A researcher notices an unusual result.

One approach is to ask:

"How can I confirm my explanation?"

A more revealing approach may be:

"What evidence would demonstrate that my explanation is wrong?"

The second question can expose weaknesses that the first overlooks.

The same principle applies to artificial intelligence.

Suppose a model classifies an unusual sound as an animal vocalization.

Instead of simply accepting the label, a researcher might ask:

Could the sound come from machinery?

Does it occur in other environments?

Is it reproducible?

What would an independent instrument detect?

What evidence distinguishes the competing explanations?

Each question changes what researchers look for next.

A microscope allows us to examine tiny structures.

A telescope allows us to observe distant objects.

A clarifying question can perform a different function.

It directs attention toward information we have overlooked.

The question does not necessarily produce new evidence.

But it may reveal what evidence is needed.

And that can change an investigation.

Sometimes the greatest intellectual advance begins not when someone discovers an answer, but when someone realizes that the existing question is inadequate.

Professor Parallax returned to his blackboard.

He wrote his familiar headings.

DEMONSTRATED. DEVELOPING. NOT ESTABLISHED.

White Rabbit examined the blackboard.

"Professor, so machines can learn when to request more information?"

"Researchers have demonstrated useful methods for improving that behavior."

"But they still sometimes guess?"

"Yes."

"And sometimes they ask questions when they don't need to?"

"Also yes."

Hatta raised his hand.

"Professor, I have a question."

"Proceed."

"What should we do if we're unsure whether a question needs clarification?"

Parallax considered.

"Examine the uncertainty and its consequences."

Hatta nodded thoughtfully.

"Then perhaps we should ask whether we ought to ask."

"Sometimes."

"And then ask whether that question requires another question?"

"Hatta..."

"And then..."

"HATTA!"

White Rabbit covered his face.

"I fear we've invented an infinite questionnaire."

Evening settled over the laboratory.

Professor Parallax had switched off most of the equipment.

White Rabbit carefully organized the day's research notes.

Hatta sat beside his Universal Answer Machine.

For once, the apparatus was silent.

"Professor," said the Rabbit, "may I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"If an artificial intelligence becomes extraordinarily capable at answering questions, will people eventually stop needing to ask so many?"

Parallax considered.

"Not necessarily."

"Why?"

"Because acquiring knowledge often reveals new uncertainties."

The Rabbit nodded.

"So the more we discover, the more questions become possible?"

"Indeed."

Hatta looked up.

"Then perhaps we've misunderstood what makes a good question."

The Professor seemed surprised.

"How so?"

"We've been judging questions by whether they produce answers."

"Go on."

"But perhaps some questions are valuable because they reveal things we hadn't thought to investigate."

Parallax smiled.

"An excellent observation."

White Rabbit closed his notebook.

"Then an intelligent assistant shouldn't merely help someone answer what they already know to ask."

"No."

"It should sometimes help them recognize what they haven't considered."

"Precisely."

Hatta looked toward his machine.

"Then I have devised one final improvement."

He removed its enormous sign.

In place of HATTA'S UNIVERSAL ANSWER MACHINE, he installed a smaller one.

It read:

HATTA'S INSTITUTE FOR BETTER QUESTIONS

Answers Available When Appropriate.

Parallax nodded approvingly.

"That's a considerable improvement."

Hatta smiled.

"Thank you, Professor."

"Although we should probably remove the cabbage wheel."

Hatta's expression changed.

"Professor, there are limits to scientific reform."

Outside, the first evening of November settled across the landscape.

And inside the laboratory, an extraordinary question remained.

Not what machines already know.

But what they might help us discover by learning when, and how, to ask.

For decades, the public imagination has often measured artificial intelligence by the sophistication of its answers.

Can it solve difficult problems?

Write convincing explanations?

Recognize complicated patterns?

Summarize enormous quantities of information?

Produce useful code?

Pass demanding examinations?

These are important capabilities.

But conversation involves another kind of challenge.

Understanding what another participant actually means.

A person may ask a question without providing everything necessary to answer it.

Their words may contain several interpretations.

Their underlying goal may differ from the most obvious reading.

And sometimes the most useful response is neither a confident answer nor a refusal.

It is a well-chosen question.

Research into clarifying interactions is beginning to show how systems might make that decision more effectively.

But the problem reaches beyond artificial intelligence.

Human beings also misunderstand one another.

We assume.

We interpret.

We jump to conclusions.

And occasionally we answer before we have listened.

Perhaps this is why the scientific study of AI questioning has such wider significance.

It encourages us to examine the quality of our own inquiries.

To distinguish certainty from assumption.

To ask what another person actually needs.

And to recognize that admitting uncertainty is sometimes the beginning of better understanding.

So the question at the bottom of today's Rabbit Hole is not merely:

It is:

A question appears upon a computer screen.

A system considers several interpretations.

It recognizes that important information is missing.

And instead of pretending certainty, it asks.

A human responds.

The conversation changes.

A better answer becomes possible.

And perhaps another question emerges.

Not because the first question failed.

But because the inquiry has advanced.

The greatest question may not be the one that brings our search to an end. It may be the one that opens a door we never knew existed.

🐰🕳️♾️

Have you ever received a technically correct answer that completely missed what you were actually asking?

Perhaps from a computer?

A customer-service representative?

A teacher?

Or even a friend?

And here's our November question:

Would you rather have an AI that answers immediately, even when it must make assumptions, or one that occasionally interrupts to ask a thoughtful clarifying question?

Would your preference change if the subject involved money, health, or an important personal decision?

And a deeper question:

What's the most valuable question anyone has ever asked you?

Tell us what you think.

Hatta has submitted one additional inquiry:

If the answer to everything is cabbage, does that mean cabbage is the ultimate question?

Professor Parallax has requested an immediate recess.
