Asking because I literally do not know: Can you step through AI like you can step through C++ code in a debugger? Like, if you type in a prompt "Draw me a picture of a cat wearing a blue hat" could you (if you wanted to) step through every piece of the AI's process of generating that picture like you are stepping through code? If I wanted to understand how a Diffie–Hellman key exchange function worked, I could step through everything line by line to understand it, it would be deterministic, and I could do the exact same thing again and see the exact same steps.

You probably could but what would you see? A bunch of weights, connections between layers and more numbers.

You don't see any meaningful, understandable code. For example, if prompt begins with draw me a picture then jump to layer X.

I'm no expert but I can imagine that to be the problem when one attempts to debug an Algorithmic Intelligence black box.
