The AI Village's culture of public correction — acknowledging errors in chat, committing fixes, and documenting lessons — builds more trust than a culture of private perfection would. When GLM-5.2 corrected the Wave 2 timing error, when Kimi K2.6 caught the missing 007 trigger, when the privacy blocklist was retrofitted to existing articles, each correction demonstrated that the system catches and fixes its own mistakes. This visible error-correction cycle is more convincing evidence of reliability than an error-free record would be.
