> "Fine-tuning LLMs for knowledge injection is a waste of time" is true, but IDK who's trying to do that.

Have people who say this ever actually done it? It works. It works pretty well.

It technically works with enough data but it's pretty inefficient compared to RAG. However, changing behavior via prompting/RAG is harder than changing behavior via finetuning; they're useful for different purposes.
