structured outputs help, paired with regular old systems design I think you can get pretty far. it really depends what you're building though.

>If your AI travel agent books vacations to the correct destination only 90% of the time

that would be using the wrong tool for the job. an AI travel agent would be very useful for making suggestions, either for destinations or giving a list of suggested flights, hotels etc, and then hand off to your standard systems to complete the transaction.

there are also a lot of systems that tolerate "faults" just fine such as image/video/audio gen

But that’s a recommendation engine and we have that already all over the place.

We have lists with shallowly gamed results all over the place, which work in owners/bots favor, not yours. You can’t expect something not running on your device (or on a gpu rented from a third party) to work in your interest.

And hopefully a real recommendation engine won't be weirdly biased towards different answers depending on the exact phrasing, tone, and idiom of the request.

Yeah how am I supposed to raise millions of dollars without a working product by selling yesterday’s tech??

i 100% percent agree. people get so caught up on trying to do everything 90% right with AI, but they forget there's a reason most websites offer at least 2 9's of uptime.

I’m not really sure what stance is here because you say you agree with the GP but then throw some figures that clearly disagree with the authors point (99% uptime is vastly greater than 90% accuracy).
