It really depends on how strictly you define "solved".

If for "solved", you want AI to be as accurate and reliable as simply retrieving the relevant data from an SQL database? Then hallucinations might never truly "get solved".

If for "solved", you want AI to be as accurate and reliable as a human? Doable at least in theory. The bar isn't high enough to remain out of reach forever.

To me, this looks like an issue of self-awareness - and I mean "self-awareness" in a very mechanical, no-nonsense way: "having usable information about itself and its own capabilities".

Humans don't have perfect awareness of their own knowledge, capabilities or competences. But LLMs have even less of each. They can recognize their own inability or uncertainty or lack of knowledge sometimes, but not always. Which seems like it would be very hard but not entirely impossible to rectify.
