But, my point is that, in the 1800s it was not understood, yet we still had telegraphs. They came up with inefficient hodge-podge engineered solutions that mostly worked, and sometimes did not.
We are in the equivalent time period for llms and ML in general, we can hack things together that kinda work.
We only understand a sliver of fundamentals of how these things behave as complex systems. But that does not mean we should or need to wait 20 years for the research and science to keep up.
These are useful today, hallucinations and all, and building things that get the right hallucinations for your use case, even if not 100% reliable is possible.
