I think it's perfectly reasonable to encounter your Gödel sentence and say you don't know it's true. You just have to think "this is only true if the logic I use is consistent. I'd like to think it is, but I don't actually have an ironclad proof of that (Luckily for me - if I did have such a proof, I'd know I was inconsistent). So I can't actually prove this statement"
That would only work if you also say "there must be an error somewhere in Gödel's proof".
Building on the very bad Gödel anti-AI argument (computers's are formal and can't prove their own Gödel sentence, hence no AI), it occurred to me that you could make a strong case that humans could never recognise a human Gödel sentence. The argument goes like this:
Now, the more usual way of dealing with human Gödel sentences is to say that humans are inconsistent, but that the inconsistency doesn't blow up our reasoning system because we use something akin to relevance logic.
But, if we do assume humans are consistent (or can become consistent), then it does seem we will never knowingly encounter our own Gödel sentences. As to where this G could hide and we could never find it? My guess would be somewhere in the larger ordinals, up where our understanding starts to get flaky.
